Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 175 g unsalted butter
- 175 g granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 175 g self-raising flour
- 50 g desiccated coconut
- 2 limes lime zest
- 2 tbsp whole milk
- 2 limes lime juice
- 150 g powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or 350°F. Grease and line a 2-pound (900g) loaf tin with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to combine.
Gently fold in the self-raising flour and desiccated coconut, followed by the zest of two limes.
Stir in the milk until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and level the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
While the loaf is baking, prepare the drizzle by mixing the freshly squeezed juice of two limes with the powdered sugar to form a smooth, pourable glaze.
When the loaf is done baking, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the tin for 10 minutes.
Poke small holes all over the loaf using a skewer or fork, then slowly spoon the lime drizzle over the top, allowing it to soak into the cake.
Once cooled completely, remove the loaf from the tin, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
