Lime & Coconut Cake

Lime & Coconut Cake

Ingredients

Cake:

• 175g (6oz) unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 300g (10½oz) Condensed Milk
• 55g (2oz) desiccated coconut
• finely grated zest and juice 1 lime
• 175g (6oz) self-raising flour
• 1tsp baking powder
• pinch of salt

Icing:

• 90g (3oz) Condensed Milk
• Lime zest and the juice ½ lime

Method

1.       Preheat the oven to 170°C, (150°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 3.

2.       Grease and base line a 2lb loaf tin with baking parchment.

3.       Place all the cake ingredients together in a large bowl (or food processor) and beat until smooth and pale. Pour into the loaf tin and cover the top with a strip of baking parchment so that it doesn't get too brown whilst cooking. Bake for 55-65 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake.

4.       Whilst the cake is cooling, make your glaze. Add the juice of 1/2 a lime to the condensed milk and mix thoroughly. When the cake is fully cooled, pipe the glaze on the top. You will need to pipe it as it is too thick to drizzle! Finally, sprinkle some lime zest on top to garnish.
