Blueberry Streusel Coffee Cake

Page 272 - Very good - I think if I make it again, I'll add more blueberries - maybe put some on the bottom of the pan or layer batter/blueberries/batter/blueberries to get more mixed though out the pieces.  the struesel topping was great.   Really made it a "coffee cake" style cake - so ou can feel just right eating cake with your morning coffee. 

I received several compliments on it, as well.  Thanks everyone!!

Bananas Foster Upside Down Cake

Darn!  Forgot to take a picture again. 

But it looked a lot like this picture I found online
:
This is a fun cake to make as I got to use my iron skillet - I love that thing.  covered the bottom with a mix of butter, brown sugar and rum (just a touch) then layered banana slices on that followed by the Cake Mix.  Baked the whole thing right there in the skillet.  Then just turned it out onto my cake server/carrier - it was beautiful - tastes great, too.
