Blueberry Coconut Cake Recipes

BLUEBERRY & COCONUT CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and grease a 22cm Bundt or ring tin. Whisk the oil, eggs, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Combine the flour and coconut. Alternately, fold the flour mix and soya milk into the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour.
• Spoon a quarter into the tin. Fold the blueberries into the remaining batter, then spoon into the tin. Bake for 1-1¼ hrs, or until a skewer comes out clean. Cover the cake with foil if it browns too quickly.
• Cool in tin for 10 mins, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Fill centre of the cake with extra blueberries and dust with icing sugar to serve.

BLUEBERRY COCONUT COFFEE CAKE

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.

BLUEBERRY LEMON CAKE WITH COCONUT CRUMBLE TOPPING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/fan 160/gas 4 and grease and line a 20 x 30 cm cake tin with baking parchment. Beat together 250g of the butter with 250g sugar and the lemon zest until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, break up 4 eggs with a fork, then gradually beat into the butter and sugar mixture, adding a spoonful of flour if it begins to curdle. When the eggs are incorporated, fold in the flour and a third of the blueberries, then spoon into the tin. Flatten the surface with a spatula, sprinkle over another third of the blueberries, and bake for 20 mins until the surface is set.
• To make the topping, melt the rest of the butter, then stir in the coconut and remaining sugar and eggs until combined. Warm the lemon curd gently for a few mins in a small pan until it is runny and pourable.
• After the initial baking, scatter the remaining blueberries over the top of the cake, drizzle over the lemon curd, and crumble over the coconut mixture. Bake for a further 20-25 mins until the coconut is golden. Leave the cake in the tin to cool. Cut into 16 squares and store in a tin, interlined with greaseproof paper.
