Toasted Coconut-Topped Blueberry Cake

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x9-inch square baking pan.

Whisk 2 cups flour baking powder and salt together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Toss the blueberries in a little of the flour mixture until coated; set aside.

Beat the shortening and 1 cup sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the floured blueberries mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

To make the topping combine 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup flour and the cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender until no small pieces of butter remain. Stir in the toasted coconut then sprinkle the topping evenly over the cake.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
