Super Blueberry Cast Iron Coffee Cake; an update to my Fresh Fruit Coffee Cake

Necessity is the mother of invention. As I started to make the Fresh Fruit Coffee Cake I found I love as short a couple of items so I adapted and overcame with some items I had in my refrigerator. To find my original recipe go to this link https://www.wildflowersandcastiron.com/post/fresh-fruit-coffee-cakeotherwise this turned out wonderful with a few changes.

Coffee cake is a very versatile and forgiving. It is a good recipe to try if you are new to cooking.

Add the Sour Cream, Yogurt, whipping cream, Milk and Eggs. Stir until creates a thick batter. It will be about the consistency of cookie dough. Remove Cast Iron pan from the oven and pour the batter into the pan. Spread to cover. Place fresh fruit on top of batter and cover with Crumb Topping. Press the the topping together and slowly break apart to create larger crumb pieces.
