Tips:

- Ensure your butter is at room temperature to make it easier to cream with the sugar.

- Optionally, you can toast the coconut meat lightly in a pan before adding it to the batter to enhance its flavor.

- Use fresh lime juice and zest for the best flavor; bottled lime juice can be a bit too acidic and lacking in fresh taste.

- Be careful not to overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can make the cake dense rather than light and fluffy.

- To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake; it should come out clean or with just a few crumbs attached.

- Consider serving the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the zesty flavors.

Once your lime coconut cake has finished baking and cooled, you can enjoy it as is or topped with a light glaze or powdered sugar. The combination of lime and coconut creates a uniquely refreshing dessert that is both moist and flavorful. This cake is guaranteed to be a hit at any gathering, offering a tropical twist to your dessert repertoire.
