How to Make Lime And Coconut Drizzle Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Grease and line a 9x5 inch loaf tin with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 6 oz (170g) softened unsalted butter and 6 oz (170g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in the zest of 2 limes.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 12 oz (340g) self-raising flour and 1 tsp baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour in 1/2 of a 13.5 oz (385ml) can of coconut milk. Beat until smooth.
  8. Add enough remaining coconut milk to achieve a dropping consistency (batter should be thick, but pourable).
  9. Pour batter into the prepared loaf tin and spread evenly.
  10. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. While the cake is baking, prepare the syrup topping: In a small saucepan, combine 5 oz (140g) granulated sugar and 1/4 cup (60ml) water.
  12. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until syrupy.
  13. Remove from heat and stir in the juice of 1 lime.
  14. Meanwhile, prepare the lime sugar topping: In a mortar and pestle, crush the zest of 1 lime with 1 oz (30g) granulated sugar until a fragrant paste forms.
  15. Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. Once the cake is slightly warm, slowly drizzle the lime syrup over the top, allowing it to absorb before adding more.
  17. Once completely cool, sprinkle the lime sugar topping generously over the cake.
