BLUEBERRY COCONUT COFFEE CAKE
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.

- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
- Store the cake at room temperature for up to 3 days: The cake can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
