FAQ

What is coffee cake?

Can fresh blueberries be used in place of pie filling?

Yes. You can make your own fresh blueberry pie filling if you’re feeling fancy. It’s delicious!

How do you keep blueberries from sinking in a cake?

Coat the blueberries in flour. The flour causes the blueberries to get caught in the batter rather than sinking to the bottom.
