Heh.

Made a blueberry-coconut coffee cake yesterday and brought it into work to be eaten by the coworker cohort. (Uses up the remaining blueberries and coconut from the one I made last week.)

As an exercise in curiosity I did a search in Google on “blueberry coconut coffee cake” to see how similar the other recipes are on the Web. Found a whole lot of close matches, or at least where the base coffee cake recipe obviously came from a very similar source as the recipe I use.

Doubt I will find an exact reference, but I expect at a minimum the recipe goes back to either a Betty Crocker cookbook or something like “Good Housekeeping” dating to the late 50s or early 60s at the latest.

I base that on the fact that the recipe 3x5 card I have was written in the early 70s and I remember the cake being made by my mother even further back than that. I can date the card due to recognizing the hand writing on it.
