When I saw this cake being made on Food TV it reminded me of
a Pineapple Teacake recipe I made many years ago.
It is so simple anyone can do it.
You don’t even have to use your electric beater just a wooden spoon.
Simply it’s just a baked batter cake with a coconut icing topping.
Only about 5 minutes prep.
Give it a go.
First heat your oven 170◦ and grease and line the bottom of a 23 cm cake pan.
All these ingredients into a large bowl
1 ½ cups flour sifted with
1 ½ tsp baking powder
Pinch salt
1 cup castor sugar
½ cup coconut
Zest 1 lemon
2 large eggs
1 cup milk
125 gms unsalted butter melted
Mix really well with your wooden spoon making sure it is well incorporated.
Into the greased pan, give a quick drop on the bench, and into the oven for 35- 40 minutes.
Test with skewer if it comes out clean its done.
Cool in pan 5 mins and turn onto rack and let it cool completely.
To ice
1 ½ cup icing sugar
1 cup coconut
1 tsp lemon zest
½ cup lemon juice
Mix and spread over the cake.
Best when really fresh.
