If you're like most of us, you have/want/dream of eating cake for breakfast. Well, LOOK WHAT I HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU. This cake is the perfectly healthy way to jump start your day- blueberry corn cake topped with vanilla yogurt and granola. I've kept the sugar low so we can all feel good about eating it with our morning coffee. In all honesty, though, this cake is lovely any time of day.
