Ingredients

175g self-raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

175g butter, cut into cubes

175g golden caster sugar

3 eggs, lightly beaten

50g sweetened tenderised coconut or desiccated coconut

Finely grated zest and juice of 2 limes

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC and line a 990g loaf tin with the non-stick baking paper.
  2. Put the flour, baking powder, butter, sugar, eggs, coconut and lime zest and juice into a large bowl and mix together with an electric whisk. Start off slowly, and then gradually increase the speed. If you haven’t got a mixer, put all the ingredients into a large bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
  3. Pour the mixture into a prepared tin and bake for 45-55 minutes or until skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  4. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn onto a wire rack to cool completely.
