Combine coconut, brown sugar, milk, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, vanilla extract, and blueberries in a mixing bowl.
Use a spatula to mix the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Pour the batter into the cake tin and spread it evenly.
Sprinkle chopped almonds and place some blueberries on top.
Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes or until the top turns golden. (To check if the cake is ready, insert a toothpick or knife into the centre of the cake. If there is batter or crumbs on the toothpick, bake the cake for a few more minutes before checking again).
Remove the cake tin from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Sprinkle icing sugar on the cake before serving.
Tips & Tricks
If you want to make the cake gluten or dairy-free, you can use gluten-free flour and dairy-free milk.
You can use castor sugar instead of brown sugar.
Avoid using a blender to mix the batter, as this can make it too dense.
You can also use frozen berries instead of fresh blueberries.
If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the batter.
