Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated key lime zest
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup fresh key lime juice, divided
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan and line bottom with a round of parchment paper.
