Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
1 cup sugar
200g
1 tbsp lime zest
16g
3 eggs
150g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1/3 cup self-raising flour
50g
1/3 cup greek yogurt
80g
1/3 cup coconut milk
72g
1 tbsp lime juice
16g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9-inch round cake pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray and lightly dusting it with flour. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, self-raising flour, and dried coconut meat. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Lime Zest and Eggs: Add the lime zest to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, and lime juice until smooth.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the batter, alternating with the Greek yogurt mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently after each addition until the ingredients are just incorporated. Do not overmix.
7. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan.
9. Cool: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, transfer the cake from the pan to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve: Once the cake has cooled completely, it’s ready to be served. Optionally, you can dust the top with powdered sugar, garnish with additional lime zest, or add a lime glaze for extra flavor.

Tips:

- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.

- Use fresh lime zest and juice for the best flavor.

- Beat the eggs one at a time, to ensure they are well incorporated and the batter remains light and airy.

- Gently fold in the dried coconut meat to avoid deflating the batter.

- Alternate adding the flours and wet ingredients (Greek yogurt and coconut milk) to maintain a smooth batter consistency.

- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before placing the cake inside for even baking.

- Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.

- Let the cake cool completely before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Enjoy your delicious lime and coconut cake, a perfect blend of tangy lime and rich coconut flavors. This cake is moist, flavorful, and sure to impress your family and friends.
