Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup shredded coconut

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil (or butter)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tbsp lime zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Optional Garnish

  • Toasted coconut flakes
  • Lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Set the oven to 175°C (350°F) and lightly grease a loaf or round pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy cake removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, blend together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut, ensuring an even distribution of leavening agents and coconut.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the sugar, melted coconut oil, eggs, coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until the mixture is silky smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
  5. Fill Pan: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula for an even bake.
  6. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Allow the cake to cool inside the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess from residual steam.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Once cooled, decorate the cake with toasted coconut flakes or additional lime zest to enhance the tropical aroma and presentation.

Notes

  • Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Melted coconut oil can be replaced with butter for a richer flavor.
  • Ensure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake texture.
  • For an extra tangy flavor, add more lime zest on top before serving.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
