LIME AND COCONUT DRIZZLE LOAF
A great, rich and moist cake bursting with Caribbean flavours! I found the recipe while surfing the net looking for coconut & lime recipes - very happy I came across this one as it's yummy!! Reportedly the recipe is originally from the BBC Good Food magazine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Butter and line the base of a loaf tin with baking parchment.
- Put 6 oz (175g) of the sugar in a bowl with the butter, flour, baking powder, eggs, and the zest of 2 limes.
- Split the coconut milk in half and set one half aside for the topping.
- Add most of the other half to the bowl and beat the mixture together until well blended. Add enough extra coconut milk to make a dropping consistency.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and level off the top. Bake for 40 mins, or until the cake is golden and firm to the touch.
- Meanwhile make the topping: Tip the reserved half of coconut milk into a saucepan. Add 5 oz (150g) of sugar.
- Bring to the boil and continue to boil for 5 minutes, or until syrupy and you can see the bottom of the pan when you stir. (For some reason this took me nearly 20 minutes!).
- Stir in the lime juice and set aside.
- With a pestle and mortat, crush the remaining sugar with the remaining lime zest, until you have a damp green paste. Set aside.
- When the loaf is done, remove from the oven and pour the syrup over the top, a little at a time, waiting for the cake to absorb it before adding more (it will come up the sides of the tin in the end).
- Leave cake until completely cold. Sprinkle the lime sugar over the top.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Butter two 20cm sandwich tins and line with non-stick baking paper. Grate the 200g block of creamed coconut and keep half of it aside. Then in a large bowl, beat all the cake ingredients (including half of the grated block of creamed coconut) together until you have a smooth, soft batter.
- Divide the mixture between the tins, smooth the surface with a spatula or the back of a spoon, then bake for about 20 mins until golden and the cake springs back when pressed. Turn onto a cooling rack and leave to cool completely.
- For the frosting, mix together the remaining creamed coconut, zest and juice of 2 limes. Microwave on High for 30 secs until the coconut melts.
- Make the buttercream by beating the butter until smooth and creamy and gradually beating in icing sugar . Then beat in the cooled coconut mix and 2-3 tbsp Malibu (optional) until it becomes marshmallowy.
- Fill the cooled sponges with a third of the frosting, cover the sides and top with the rest and coat the sides with the toasted desiccated coconut. Keep in an airtight container and eat within 2 days.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter and line the base and ends of a 900g loaf tin with a strip of buttered baking parchment. Cream the butter and caster sugar together until really pale, light and fluffy. Grate the zest from 3 of the limes and add to the mixture. Gradually add the eggs, mixing well between each addition.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, ground ginger and a pinch of salt. Using a large metal spoon, fold into the cake mixture with the coconut and chopped stem ginger. Add the milk and juice from 2 of the limes and mix until smooth. Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and spread level using a palette knife.
- Bake in the bottom third of the oven for 1 hr - 1 hr 15 mins, or until golden brown - a skewer inserted into the middle of the cake should come out clean. Cool the cake in the tin for 10-15 mins.
- Use a wooden skewer to make holes all over the top of the cake. Meanwhile, mix the remaining lime juice with the granulated sugar and the stem ginger syrup. Slowly spoon the sugary mixture over the top of the warm cake and leave in the tin until completely cold. Top with the chopped crystallised ginger to serve.
