Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar (300g) together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the milk and lime zest until evenly combined.
- Gradually fold in the self-raising flour and dried coconut meat, mixing gently until the batter is smooth and all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the lime syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the 1/2 cup sugar (120g) and 1/4 cup water (60ml).
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Once the cake has cooled, prick the surface of the cake all over with a skewer or fork to create small holes.
- Gradually spoon the warm lime syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Make sure to pour the syrup evenly to cover the entire surface.
- Allow the cake to sit for at least 30 minutes to absorb the syrup fully before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with additional lime zest and a sprinkle of shredded coconut for added flavor and presentation.
Tips:
- Ensure that your butter is at room temperature before you begin to make creaming it with sugar easier.
- For an extra burst of lime flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lime juice to the batter.
- To make a simple syrup for drizzling, you can combine equal parts sugar and water and heat until the sugar dissolves, then add a bit of lime zest.
- Be sure to grease and flour your cake pan well to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
This Coconut Lime Syrup Cake is a tropical delight that will leave everyone craving for more. Its moist texture, combined with the refreshing zest of lime and the rich taste of coconut, makes it a true winner. Enjoy every bite and don't forget to share a slice with your loved ones!
