A cake for all occasions, this Blackberry Coconut Cake has a dense and moist crumb of blackberries and coconut, is filled with rich coconut buttercream, and frosted with tangy cream cheese frosting. Perfect for berry and coconut lovers everywhere. I turned 30 earlier this year. And, rather than sit around in angst, hoping that the day would not come, I decided to throw myself a party and bake my own birthday cake. I had a wonderful floral and spring-themed party, complete with cheese fondue and chocolate fountain :)

IMG_6372aYes, I did bake my own birthday cake because I am who I am and that’s what I do! My sweet Warren offered to bake a cake for me because he didn’t think the birthday girl should be baking her own cake, but I respectfully declined the offer (butter and eggs are not for wasting :D).

I thought long and hard about what kind of cake I wanted to bake for myself and came up with this luscious blackberry coconut cake. Read the rest of the story over on SoFabFood, where I share the recipe for the cake, coconut buttercream filling, and tangy cream cheese frosting, along with my tips for baking a successful cake (if you’re a first timer).

    This is actually one of my favorite cakes you’ve ever made. Reminds me of the chilled cake from Jillian’s event that I was so obsessed with, remember? Kudos, chica!
