Blueberry Yogurt Coffee Cake

It is that time of the year when sniffles and coughs make ther uninvited appearance. So to fill the house with wonderful smells I decided I need to do some baking. I am no big baker! I usually bake when the kids bug me, if some ingredients need to be used real quick or sometimes to satisfy a craving. Last week's looks at Washington Post Food section led me down such a path just when I was wondering how to make use of some blueberries in the freezer. I made a few modifications to the original recipe. The cake was not too sweet, hence was great for breakfast or with a slather of honey for a wonderful desert. I used a rectangular baking dish because that is the only kind I have but a round pan would be preferable.
