This recipe was okay as listed on site. I reduced the salt immediately knowing that 2 teaspoons for a 13x9 was going to be too much. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly and it was better than average, but not great. I decided to try again, and increased the blueberries to 3 pints, used 2/3 C buttermilk and put in 1 t vanilla. I used all the topping (it's a lot, but people loved the topping). It was great warm with ice cream, and I also used it for breakfast and got rave reviews. The recipe needs a bit of tweaking, but now I will be using it often in the summer. I think you could put a teaspoon of almond extract rather than vanilla and get a different but very nice coffee cake, too.
