The redneck “suggested” a plain white cake with German chocolate frosting for his birthday. Karma is fortunate that he extends considerable grace to her creative culinary endeavors so when she suggested something new he knew she’d already made up her mind. It was going to be a birthday cake hit or miss. This cake has much less sugar than traditional Bundt cakes but the fresh lemon and juicy blueberries more than make up with bursts of flavor. The coconut topping is also a departure from traditional buttercream frostings and add a special touch to a special occasion. Though the cake itself can stand on it’s own as a lovely snack cake any time without the icing layer.
