I'm blue dabu di dabu da...or something down those lines... This cake turned out just as I imagined it would! No worries - your smartphone, tablet, laptop is working fine, it IS quite a blue cake! Blueberries, zingy lemon, crunchy poppy seeds and coconut aftertaste, they all come together rather well.

How to make it...

Ingredients:

- 1/2 cup coconut milk

- 3 Tbsp blueberry flavoured soy yogurt

- 1 Tbsp lemon juice

- zest of half a lemon

- 1/4 cup sunflower oil

- 3/4 cup granulated sugar

- 1 1/2 cup plain flour

- 1/2 cup coconut flour

- 1 Tbsp black poppy seeds

- 2 1/2 tsp baking powder

- 1/2 tsp salt

Method:

- The cake is made within minutes, literally, so turn on your oven to preheat before you start making the batter, set it to 180C.

- In a jug whisk together coconut milk, yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, sunflower oil and sugar.

- In a separate bowl (big enough to hold all the ingredients) mix dry ingredients together. 

- Add wet ingredients into the bowl with dry ones. Fold together until it's all well incorporated, but try not to overmix it. 

- Fold in 1 cup of fresh blueberries.

- Transfer the batter to a lined bread baking tin (pound tin). 

- Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes, or until well risen and and when pierced with a tooth pick it comes out dry and clean. 

- Take out of the tin and let cool on a wire rack. Keep covered at room temperature.

Smacznego!
