    Are you looking for something fun to make for brunch this weekend? Here is a super yummy Very Berry Coffee Cake Recipe! This Berry Coffee Cake is super good and easy to make with the help of cake mix and frozen (please remember to thaw them) berries!

    I was pleasantly surprised it didn't have a "cake mix taste" like some things do when you use cake mixes for recipes other than cake.

    The topping is nice and crunchy and the berries are soft and gooey. It's a great combination!

    You can use a single berry, so it's all strawberries or all blueberries. My frozen berry mix was strawberry, blueberry, raspberry and blackberry. So good!
