Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well until fully combined.
- Add the self-raising flour to the mixture gradually, mixing continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
- Stir in the milk gradually, followed by the orange juice. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
- Gently fold in the orange zest and dried coconut meat. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the teacake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve the teacake with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding an extra tablespoon of orange zest.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- If you prefer a sweeter cake, you can slightly increase the amount of sugar.
- To enhance the coconut flavor, you can lightly toast the dried coconut meat before adding it to the batter.
- Ensure that the butter and egg are at room temperature for better mixing and consistency.
- A light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of orange glaze can be added before serving for extra sweetness and presentation.
Once baked, the Orange and Coconut Teacake is a moist and flavorful delight that can be enjoyed on its own or with a light glaze. It's a versatile treat perfect for any occasion, bringing a hint of tropical and citrus flavors to your table.
