Mixed Berry Coffee Cake

Hey Friends Hey!

Ok... so let me be totally honest. I don't really know what to call this deliciousness! I've been calling it a cake pie thingy, but it deserves better! Much better really! So let's just call it a Berry Coffee Cake, ah! That'll work!

Welp, since we are home, self distancing; I'm trying not to panic. So instead, I'm baking. But... we're also trying to eat our perishable foods first and I had some berries that needed to be used. Because I'm limiting my added sugar intake, I opted to use date sugar. I mean... honestly, it's just dehydrated dates, so it's healthy right? Yup!

Ok... ok. Enough of me babbling. Just try it!

Luv,
