Ingredients:

2 tsp butter
10g
2 tsp sugar
10g
1 egg
50g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1/4 cup self-raising flour
36g
1/3 cup milk (1% fat)
80g
2 tbsp orange zest
30g
1 tbsp orange juice
16g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Add Egg and Vanilla:
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well until fully combined.
4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Add the self-raising flour to the mixture gradually, mixing continuously to ensure there are no lumps.
5. Mix in Wet Ingredients:
- Stir in the milk gradually, followed by the orange juice. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
6. Fold in Orange Zest and Coconut:
- Gently fold in the orange zest and dried coconut meat. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour Batter into Pan:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake:
- 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.
9. Cool:
- Allow the teacake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Serve:
- 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.
