blueberry upside down cake.

i love summer. 

it is my favorite time of the year. 

i also love fruit. 

so i absolutely love summer so i can get fresh fruit...so yummy! 
 
i had a bunch of blueberries in my fridge that needed to be used so i decided to go ahead and make a recipe i had "pinned" earlier this summer. 

for father's day this year i made pioneer woman's blueberry coffee cake...it was delicious. unfortunately, i never got any pictures. 

lucky for me, this time i did.
