I have altered my grandmother's famous blueberry cake recipe to my personal liking. The toasted coconut crumble topping is a wonderful addition to the cake.

Time 2h40m

Yield 9

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh blueberries
⅓ cup vegetable shortening
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
¾ cup milk
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 tablespoons cold butter
½ cup toasted flake coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch square baking pan.
  • Whisk 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Toss the blueberries in a little of the flour mixture until coated; set aside.
  • Beat the shortening and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the floured blueberries, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.
  • To make the topping, combine 3/4 cup sugar, 3/4 cup flour, and the cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender until no small pieces of butter remain. Stir in the toasted coconut, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed this cake. The coconut flavor is subtle and it complements the blueberries nicely.

The blueberries burst with flavor in every bite. I used fresh blueberries, but I'm sure frozen blueberries would work just as well.
