Time 2h15m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ cups self-rising flour
1 cup superfine sugar
½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
4 eggs
1 cup milk
¼ cup lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
¼ cup unsalted butter
2 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons coconut milk powder
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  • Place self-rising flour, superfine sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a food processor; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 20 seconds.
  • Place eggs, milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in the food processor, and pulse until batter is just mixed, about 10 seconds more.
  • Transfer batter to a large bowl; fold 1 cup coconut into the batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat 1/4 cup butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until light and creamy.
  • Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar, coconut milk powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting over completely cooked cake.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup coconut atop frosted cake.

I didn't have any coconut milk on hand, so I used regular milk instead. The cake still turned out delicious.

I'm gluten-free, so I substituted gluten-free flour for the all-purpose flour. The cake still turned out great!
