Blueberry Coffee Cake

Whatever happened to homemade coffee cake?  It seems it's been all but forgotten.  I love these easy type recipes on a lazy day when you can sit back and enjoy the aroma coming from the kitchen.  That will waken the senses & you are suddenly  hungry & craving that special coffee cake.  

I'm giving you 2 Blueberry Coffee Cake recipes.  The first I've had for years,  It's been one of my favorites.  I got the recipe from Eating Well.  The second recipe I got from Bisquick.  I haven't tried the Bisquick Recipe yet, but it looks like it is easier to make, & yields about the same.  The interesting thing about these recipes is the calorie count.  The first is about 275 calories per serving, while the Bisquick recipe is about 235 servings per recipe.    I'll let you be the judge.  Let me know which you like better.
