A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Next time, I'll add a few more blueberries (probably another 1/4 to 1/3 cup) as well as some lemon zest to the cake batter layer--it was kind of "one note" and needed a little more brightest. The ricotta cheese layer combined with the streusel topping really makes this coffeecake great. Adding the lemon zest to the cake batter portion should improve that layer to make this, as a whole, one stellar baked good.
