Blueberry Coconut Coffee Cake image

Adapted from Quick Cooking. I tried this delicious recipe and wrote in capital letters across the page "Excellent!" I rediscovered this yummy recipe again today as I was digging through my recipe box searching for fall favorites. The recipe originally called for shortening, but I prefer the rich flavor or real unsalted butter. Since this recipe makes 2 cakes, you can leave the coconut off the second if you want one plain. I often freeze the second cake after baking.

Time 35m

Yield 2 cakes, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 cup milk (I used skim)
2 cups fresh blueberries or 2 cups frozen blueberries, unthawed
1 1/3 cups shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt.
  • Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk, then add to the flour mixture, stirring just enough to moisten the ingredients (overmixing will make a tough cake).
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Pour batter into two greased round 9" baking pans.
  • Sprinkle evenly with coconut.
  • Bake in a preheated 375 F oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean when poked near the center of cake.
  • Serve warm.
