Coconut and Lime Layer Cake

For that totally tropical cake taste

This cake may look humble but believe me it has hidden oomph. The sponge is rich and coconutty, and the buttercream and glaze packs a powerful lime punch.

I made this for The Cake Shed a couple of weekends a go and it sold out super quick. It’s a good, sturdy but bright cake which can easily be used for a celebration cake or even the lower tier of a wedding or tiered cake.

It can also be baked as a loaf or a traybake for a great tea time or afternoon treat. If making a loaf I’d probably just use the glaze, and if I was making a traybake I’d smother it in buttercream.

If you don’t fancy the lime, why not team the coconut cake with chocolate for that hint of ‘Bounty’.
