Instructions:

- Grease and line a square baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together using an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is pale, thick, and tripled in volume (about 5 minutes).
- Beat in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture in batches, using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the batter.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter with the 1/2 cup of water and let it cool slightly.
- Gently fold the melted butter mixture into the batter until fully incorporated.
- Carefully fold the blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, cut it into squares of your desired size.
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice with a little water to make a quick syrup.
- Lightly dip each cake square into the lemon syrup to moisten, then roll each square in the dried coconut meat until fully coated.
