MOROCCAN COCONUT LEMON CAKE
In Morocco, cakes (called 'meskouta') aren't made with pre-packaged cake mixes purchased right off the shelf in the grocery stores.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour 1 9x13-inch baking dish or two 9-inch cake pans; set aside.
- 2. Beat together the eggs and sugar until thick. Gradually beat in the oil, then beat in the vanilla, lemon juice, and zest. Stir in the flour, coconut, baking powder and salt. Then stir in the milk. Beat until smooth.
- 3. Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s). Bake in the middle of your preheated oven until the cake tests done - approximately 25 to 30 minutes for two round cake pans, 35 to 40 minutes for 9x13-inch pan. (You could also use a tube or bundt pan which will require about 40 minutes baking time.)
- 4. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes. Carefully run a butter knife along the edges to loosen the cake from the sides of the pan. Then turn out the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
- 5. Mix the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla with enough cream or milk to a spreadable consistency. Spread the icing in a thin layer over the top of the cooled cake. Lightly dust the icing with toasted coconut. Allow the icing to set before serving.
