How to Make Coconut Lime Pudding Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Butter a 1-quart gratin dish or 8-inch round cake pan. Place it in a larger roasting pan.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer.
  4. Beat in 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour until just combined. Then, add 2 large egg yolks, 1/4 cup (60ml) limeade concentrate, 1 (13.5 ounce) can full-fat coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  6. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  7. Gently fold one-quarter of the egg whites into the coconut-lime mixture. Then, fold in the remaining egg whites until just combined.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Pour enough boiling water into the roasting pan to come halfway up the sides of the baking dish (creating a water bath).
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached.
  10. Remove from the water bath and let cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  11. Serve warm. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes, if desired.
