Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

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.
  • Toast coconut in a small baking pan in oven, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool. Leave oven on.
  • Beat together butter, granulated sugar, and zest with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir together flour and 1/2 cup coconut (reserve remainder for topping). Stir together milk and 2 Tbsp lime juice. At low speed, mix flour and milk mixtures into egg mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour.
  • Spoon batter into pan and smooth top. Bake until golden and a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool to warm, then turn out of pan and discard parchment.
  • Whisk together confectioners sugar, remaining 2 Tbsp lime juice, and rum (if using) and pour over cake. Sprinkle with remaining coconut.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I thought this cake was still very good. The key lime flavor is really refreshing.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.
