We’re so lucky to have an amazing blueberry farm close by, in fact it’s called Tuckerberry Hill Blueberry Farm, but they also have strawberries, a cute cafe and the produce market where we buy our fruit and vegetables each week. 
It always gets to this time of winter and I start craving summer fruits and the summer weather, so I thank my past self for freezing or preserving summer flavours. Last summer I froze a heap of blueberries, the last of which I used in this cake (and then I had to borrow a few more from my mum).
The blueberries burst like a ray of sunshine in your mouth and the coconut flakes give this dense, moist cake a tropical feel.
Do you crave a bit of a season that you can’t have? How do you work around it?

Oh Clare this looks mouthwatering. I wish I had a blueberry farm nearby. They’re so expensive around here and I’m sure they’re not local.

Yummo. This year my goal is to preserve more of summer. At the moment I am craving stonefruit. I could kill a peach right now. A blueberry farm sounds like the best place to buy your produce on the weekend too, nice.

I also need to preserve more this summer. I think some stone fruit definitely needs to be bottled!
