Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 1.5 cups fresh blueberries
- 0.5 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in three parts, alternating with the coconut milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries and shredded sweetened coconut using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped pecans or walnuts (if using). Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of the cake batter.
Bake the coffee cake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving. Enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
