Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for baking dish 1 3/4 cups plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for baking dish 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1 cup packed sweetened shredded coconut 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar 3 large eggs 3/4 cup buttermilk 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons lime juice 3 cups mixed berries, such as raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries (about 1 pound) 3 tablespoons amber rum or orange juice

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, salt, and coconut. In another large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and 1 cup sugar on high, scraping down bowl as needed, until light and fluffy, 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until combined. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions buttermilk, and beat until combined. Stir in lime zest and juice. Pour batter into dish. Smooth top with a small offset or rubber spatula.

In a medium bowl, toss together 1 tablespoon flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, berries, and rum. Scatter berry mixture over batter. Bake until cake is golden at edges and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       10/07/2018   Would recommend adding additional buttermilk, I might have added double or an extra half. Also used lemon juice instead of lime/rum. Brilliant cake, made three times now and brilliant each time with the additional buttermilk!

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       07/26/2013   This cake is disappointing. Frankly, it tastes more like a blueberry muffin than a cake. I did only use blueberries for the berry portion, but the coconut and lime are nearly unrecognizable in this dish. I did top it with a berry coconut buttercream frosting, which made it taste better, but overall...I'd skip this one.
