Equipment

  • 2llb Loaf tin

Ingredients

  • 175 g   Butter, Softened 
  • 175 g Caster Sugar 
  • 3 Large Eggs  Free-Range 
  • 175 g Self-Raising Flour 
  • 1 teaspoon  Baking Powder  level teaspoon 
  • 75 g Desiccated Coconut 
  • 2 Limes Zest & Juice (see method)
  • Icing
  • 100 g Icing Sugar
  • 1-2 tbsp Lime juice Squeeze below lemon
  • 25 g Desiccated coconut
  • 1 Lime - zest zest

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C / 160C Fan / Gas4 / 350F 
  • Line and grease a 2llb loaf tin. Or use a loaf liner 
  • In a mixing bowl cream your softened butter and caster sugar until light & fluffy. You can use a stand mixer here too
  • Add your eggs, self-raising flour, baking powder, lime zest (from 2 of your limes) and desiccated coconut and beat until combined 
  • Next add 2 tablespoons lime juice to thin the mix a little
  • Spoon your batter into your loaf tin and bake for 45 - 50 minutes in the centre of your preheated oven. Check after 45 minutes. The cake should be firm to touch and golden brown. You can use a skewer to check if it's baked and it will come out clean if it's ready!
  • Remove from the oven & leave your loaf cake to cool in the tin.  Once totally cold, remove from the tin.
  • In a small mixing bowl mix your icing sugar with 1 tablespoon lime juice and mix - add a further 1 tablespoon of lime juice if needed. Go slowly as you want a think icing - not one that's going to run everywhere. Mix until really smooth
  • In another small bowl mix 25g desiccated coconut with the zest of your remaining lime
  • Spoon your icing down the centre of the cold loaf cake. Use a spoon to spread to the edges
  • Finally sprinkle your desiccated coconut and lime zest down the centre of the cake
  • Serve - it's delicious!!
