Blueberry Walnut Coffee Cake

Blueberries and walnuts are made for each other. The sweetness of the berries and the earthy crunch of the walnuts work wonderfully together to make this cake full of flavor and texture. There is relatively little added sugar in this recipe, which relies instead on the fruit's own natural sugars to make a cake that's just sweet enough without being cloying.

Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8-in square cake pan with cooking spray. Whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda and salt. In a small bowl, stir together the granulated sugar, ground cinnamon and walnuts. In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar, butter and applesauce until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time beating until fully combined. Beat in vanilla and yogurt.
