Buttery baking spread*, softened

175g

Large eggs, beaten

3

Desiccated coconut

55g

Finely grated zest 2 limes

Self-raising flour

175g

Baking powder

1tsp

Icing sugar

100g

Juice 2 limes

Long strands lime zest and juice 1 lime

*Recipe based on 70% fat buttery baking spread.

You will also need…

900g loaf tin lined with baking parchment

Step 1 of 3

Preheat the oven to 170°C, (150°C for fan ovens), Gas Mark 3.

Step 2 of 3

Whisk the cake ingredients in a large bowl until pale and creamy (use an electric hand whisk if you have one). Pour into the tin and bake for 55-65 minutes spring and cooked through. (If the top becomes too brown cover the cake with a piece of parchment). Cool the cake slightly then remove from the tin to cool completely.

Step 3 of 3

For the icing – simply mix enough lime juice into the icing sugar until you have a thick pouring consistency – drizzle over the cake using a spoon or piping bag and finish with strands of lime zest.

For a super fresh taste – microwave a slice of cake for 10 seconds to have that warm from the oven effect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super easy and a massive hit This is one of the best cakes I've ever made and I've made a lot!! Was wondering if the juice of the two limes should be in the cake or the icing as this isn't clear.....

Rated 5 out of 5 by from wow l was a bit unsure how this recipe would work with the condensed milk but it was GREAT! l took it to our community pub and there it was gone, like a maderia but much moister will try with vegan condensed milk which l had not realised was on sale yummmy!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hubby's favourite I have made this so many times and everyone loves it. This cake is a firm favourite in our family and never lasts long after I've made it. It has to be one of the best cakes ever, so moist and delicious with the icing and lime zest on the top.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Delicious Success I made this for my mothers birthday as I wanted a change from the usual standard birthday cake. Made it in a round tin rather than a loaf tin. What a deliciously moist tasty cake. Not a crumb was left.
