Berry Coffee Cake Recipe

Blueberries, peaches, plums, cantaloupe, cherries, corn on the cob, fresh picked tomatoes.....OH MY!  I love summer time fruits and veggies.  So far I've picked around 27+ lbs of blueberries.  We love to eat them in steel cut oats all year long.  They freeze so well!  There are tons of great recipes for all of the fruits and berries.  Below I've listed just one.  I made it the other day and it was delicious.  Especially when it was still warm from the oven.  I gave some away to my parents.  We had company for dinner the next day and I topped each piece with some whipped cream and sliced fresh peaches.  Yum!
