Lemon coconut cake YUMMMMM

Even Eva who doesnt like coconut (?!!) loved this. The only drawback to this cake is that it is so lekker you just want to eat it all in one go, so make sure you have plenty people to share it with!! The coconut milk keeps it really moist.

175g soft butter

200g witte basterdsuiker (hmm... No idea what this is outside of NL... Maybe use v fine granulated sugar?)

3 eggs

1,5 limes

50g dried coconut

200g flour

Baking powder

100ml coconut milk

Glazing:

50g soft butter

180g powder sugar

1 lime

Garnish with raspberries or edible flowers (or nothing)

Whip butter and sugar until crystals have completely disappeared (about 10 mins). Add eggs one at a time, keep whipping. Add dried coconut, coconut milk, pinch of salt and juice of 1,5 lime (i also added the zest). Fold in flour and baking powder. 

Butter and flour baking tray, pref. a square one of about 25cm (but a regular one works too). Add cake mix, put in 170 degree C pre-heated oven for about 30 mins (10 mins longer if it is a round tin). Cool down cake, then gently remove, flipping it upside down. 

For the glaze, mix powder sugar, juice of 1/6 lime (???!!! I did 1/2 lime and it was tasty) and 50g soft butter with a mixer. Spread out over the cake and let it harden. Cut into nice squares and garnish if you have anything, and if not just eat it up!!!! Super tasty.
