Lime & Coconut Cake

Ingredients

  • 175 g Gluten free self-raising flour
  • 175 g Butter (dairy free - I use the Stork baking block)
  • 175 g Caster sugar
  • 3 Eggs (medium)
  • 2 Limes (Juice & Zest)
  • 30 g Desiccated coconut

To decorate:

  • 100 g Icing sugar
  • 10 g Desiccated coconut
  • 1 squeeze Lime juice (and a little zest to decorate)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees or gas mark 4.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar (you may want to leave the stork baking block out of the fridge for a while first to soften to make it easier).
  • Gradually add the egg and self-raising flour while folding, until you have combined all the ingredients. Add the lime zest and juice as well as the desiccated coconut, mix well then transfer the cake mixture to a lined loaf tin.
  • Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, then leave to cool.
  • Once the cake is cool, make the icing using icing sugar, water and a squeeze of lime juice.
  • Drizzle across the cake, then sprinkle lime zest and desiccated coconut across the top of the cake.
