Lime and Coconut Cake image

Put the lime in the coconut and shake your taste buds up! This cake reminds us of a cross between banana bread and a lime coconut cake. It's dense and moist with a delicious citrus lime flavor. Yum! The creamy frosting adds a nice tangy taste.

This cake was a little too dry for my taste. I think I would add more milk or butter next time.
