Coconut Cake with Berries & Cream

For Father's Day weekend, my father-in-law, brother-in-law and his girlfiend came over for a game of corn hole and dinner.  We made a delecious steak dinner on the grill and for desert I made a delicious cake.  From Living magazine, page 135 July 2012, I made the Coconut Cake with Blueberries and Cream.  I used half the recipe ingridents because it called for a 9x13 in pan, but I just used a 9 in round cake pan.  The recipe said to have the cake refridgerate for 3-5 hours, but mine took an overnight stay in the refrideragtor to set completely. 

It was the first time I used coconut milk in a cake.  It was super sweet combined with the sweetened condenced milk and heavy cream.  I probably could have used about a quarter less heavy cream when I poured the liquid over the cooling cake.  For garnish, I whipped fresh cream and smeared it on top of the refridgerator set cake like frosting.  Then I laid fresh blueberries on top.
