Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and the granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Add the sour cream and mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour and dried coconut meat.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the lemon zest and lemon juice until evenly distributed.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the corn flour until well coated (this helps the blueberries stay evenly distributed in the batter).
- Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon or a similar utensil, poke holes all over the cake, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a little water or lemon juice (if you want a more intense lemon flavor) until smooth and pourable. The consistency should be thin enough to seep into the poked holes but thick enough to stick to the cake.
- Pour the glaze over the cake, making sure it seeps into the holes.
- Allow the cake to cool completely and the glaze to set. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Once fully cooled and set, slice the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delightful Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake!
Tips:
- Use fresh lemon zest and juice to enhance the citrus flavor in your cake.
- To prevent blueberries from sinking to the bottom, lightly coat them with corn flour before folding them into the batter.
- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with the sugar.
- Let the cake cool completely before poking holes and pouring the lemon-sugar mixture to avoid a soggy texture.
- For extra lemony goodness, you can add lemon glaze or icing as a final touch.
Your Lemon Blueberry Poke Cake is now ready to be served! The vibrant lemon and blueberry combination, along with the moist and fluffy texture, make it a perfect dessert for any occasion. Enjoy a slice with a cup of tea or coffee, or simply indulge in this refreshing treat on its own. Happy baking!
