  2. Blackberry Coconut Bundt Cake Recipe

Ah, life in Edmonton. When else would you get a boatload of snow on the first official day of spring? We had lovely weather the entire week before, but of course, Mother Nature loves to give Canadians a hard time.

So what else is a girl to do but bake? You guys, I seriously had this bundt cake in the oven before 9 am. Apparently, I should get up at 6 am every morning and have Mike take the kids to school. I was up, writing and baking, and had this baby in the oven by 8:55.

Whew. It hurt being that productive. I need a vacation.

This blackberry coconut bundt was in no way, shape, or form what I was going to make that morning. I had picked up a pint of blueberries in hopes of making a nice loaf or muffins for the kids to enjoy after piano lessons.

Old Mother Magpie goes to the cupboard fridge to bake her poor children a muffin…and there ain’t any blueberries. Oh, they got their blueberries, the night before for a bedtime snack from the husband.

Apparently, I need to start writing my name on my food like an office refrigerator.

So I was left with one scrungy lemon, two scrungier limes, and a pint of beautiful blackberries that somehow my ravenous children had missed.

Blackberry bundt cake it was. (Don’t worry, I’ll be using those scrungy limes somehow…soon…)

So you want to know the secret to bake large berries into a cake? See the above picture. Take half your batter and place it in the floured/greased bundt pan. Then take a large half of the berries and place them on top, slightly pushing some of them into the batter. Top with the remainder of the batter and push in the remaining blackberries.

Thus you get a perfectly berried cake, like below.

This is one seriously tasty cake. The sour cream makes it so moist and let me tell you, what a nice dessert it made after supper on a snowy day. Add a cup of tea to it, a fireplace, and boom. Perfect evening snack. Sigh. I just mentioned the word fireplace. In late March. Oh… Canada.

However, Happy Spring my loves! We made it! Not that it means anything when you live in Edmonton, it actually means we are going to get more wet snow that makes our morning commute harder. Oh, joy!

Oh well, when life gives you snow, bake a bundt.

Love,

Karlynn
