Q: <strong>Does this Blueberry Coconut Pound Cake need refrigeration?</strong>

No, this pound cake is fine to leave at room temperature in an airtight container or under a cake dome etc. for a few days. Beyond that, I would move to the refrigerator for freshness. As with any of our cakes, the texture will be more firm if it is chilled. For this reason, if you do refrigerate the cake, warm it to room temperature before serving so that the texture will be soft and tender.

Q: <strong>Can this cake be frozen?</strong>

Just as with most of our cake recipes , from strawberry pound cake to sour cream pound cake , hummingbird bundt cake , Million Dollar Pound Cake and more, this cake freezes perfectly. After cooling the blueberry coconut pound cake until it is slightly warm, place it on a foil wrapped cake cardboard (for support) and wrap tightly with plastic wrap followed by foil. It will stay fresh in the freezer for up to three months . Since bundt cakes and pound cakes are larger than cake layers, they take longer to thaw . For this reason, we like to move the wrapped bundt cake to the refrigerator the day before it is needed. Then, remove the next morning and continue thawing.

Question 3

What is the benefit of Buttermilk in cake recipes?

Accepted Answer

Buttermilk is a popular ingredient in cake recipes. It gives the batter an added boost of acidity, which acts to soften the strands of gluten in the cake batter. This makes for a softer, more tender cake.

Today's cake is much like our popular Buttermilk Pound Cake, but with a bit more buttermilk in addition to the added coconut extract, flaked coconut, and blueberries.

Question 4

Is Coconut Extract Necessary?

Accepted Answer

Although the sweetened flaked coconut in the cake batter adds a bit of coconut flavor to our pound cake, the coconut extract adds a really nice boost. We highly recommend it. (We like McCormick brand which is available at our local grocery store.)

Question 5

What is the benefit of Cake Flour?

Accepted Answer

Cake flour contains less protein than all purpose flour. This leads to less gluten formation, which results in a softer, more tender cake.
