    Chocolate, Almond and Blueberry Cake

    Blueberries go down very well in my house at all times, my children love them. In this case they were even more popular with me, because they were in a chocolate, almond and blueberry cake.

    Perfect for the summer to enjoy summer berries in a different way.

    Chocolate, Almond and Blueberry Cake

    I do enjoy using coconut oil in cakes instead of butter, you get a hint of coconut flavour as well as the health benefits of coconut oil, with the same results as with butter.

    Also, creaming coconut oil and sugar together is much easier and you don’t need to remember to remove the butter from the fridge in advance.

    Chocolate, Almond and Blueberry Cake

    This cake was delicious dusted with icing sugar and topped with more blueberries. Raspberries would be nice with it too.

    On the side it would go well with ice cream or even clotted cream. Perfect for a quick afternoon treat!

      That sponge looks quite delectable Lucy. What a lovely cake. I’m with you on coconut oil and would like to use it a lot more, but it’s so expensive. Even though I buy organic butter, it’s still a lot cheaper than coconut oil. Thanks for joining in with We Should Cocoa and thanks also to linking to my lavender cake.

        Thanks Choclette, it was one of those happy coincidences, out of butter but I still had some My Protein coconut oil left! Agree that butter is much better value.

      This looks really lovely. I’ve been wanting to try a slightly healthier sponge recipe rather than using butter all the time. This sounds perfect, especially if you get a slight hint of the coconut, a flavour I adore.

      Mmm this looks lovely! Chocolate and blueberries is not a combination I have ever considered pairing, but I can see how this could totally work! Yum!
