Ingredients
- 110g Lucy Bee Coconut Sugar + 2 tbsp. for glaze
- 120g Lucy Bee Coconut Oil, melted
- 3 eggs
- Zest of 2 limes plus juice for the glaze
- 175g gluten free self raising flour
- 40g desiccated coconut
- 1 tsp. gluten free baking powder
Method
- Preheat the oven to 170C, 325F, gas mark 3 and line a loaf tin with baking paper along the bottom.
- In a bowl, mix together the Lucy Bee Coconut Sugar, Lucy Bee Coconut Oil and eggs until combined.
- Add the lime zest, flour, desiccated coconut and baking powder and mix together well until a batter is formed.
- Pour the mixture into the lined cake tin and bake in the center of the oven for 40 minutes. The cake should be lightly golden and have a nice rise to it. To test the cake, insert a skewer or toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean the cake is ready.
- Allow the cake to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- Mix the sugar and lime juice together.
- Turn your cake out onto a board or a plate and with a fork, prick some holes into the top of the cake and gently spoon over the sugar and lime mixture. Leave this to set and slightly crystalize.
- We decided to decorate ours with edible flowers when it was completely cool! You could also make these as mini-cakes.
Enjoy!
