I’ve recently discovered the joy of a cup of flavor filled tea in the evenings and am ever ready to experiment with various herbal teas. I do, however, think that the right snack to complement the tea is essential for a complete and satisfying teatime experience. My pantry is stocked with a wide variety of snacks from the Indian store for this reason. Every once in a while though, I like to switch things up a bit and bake something delicious. I will share one such teatime favorite today.

Here goes – Blueberry Rhubarb Sour Cream Coffee Cake 🙂
