Blueberry Pecan Nata Coffee Cake

BLUEBERRY PECAN COFFEE CAKE!!! This is the ultimate snacking cake. The kind you wish was hanging out in the house on a Sunday afternoon so you could get really friendly with it. What sets this coffee cake apart from the rest is the beautifully moist texture of the cake. Thanks to Parmalat Nata it stays moist until the cake is all gone, which always happens too fast.
