Review: I was searching for almond paste coffee cake recipes and that led me to your site. Wow! 'Recipe Goldmine' really is the mother lode.

As for the coffee cake I wanted to bake for Mom on Mother's Day, I found exactly what I had in mind and if I do say so myself, confirmed by my Mom, I was delighted with the result. We were able to enjoy Almond Blueberry Sour Cream Coffee Cake for brunch on our sundeck basking in the sun, overlooking the ocean in beautiful West Vancouver, B.C. Anyone who loves almond flavour and blueberries will find this coffee cake to be absolutely scrumptious and moist. I highly recommend it.

Congratulations on your wonderful site. I will have many enjoyable hours searching for other delicious recipes.
