This recipe I got from Best Recipes. A quick and easy cake mixed in a food processor. How easier can it be.
Lemon & Coconut Cake
Ingredients
- 1 medium lemon, rind finely grated
- ½ juice of half a lemon
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- ½ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 cup milk
- 1½ cups self raising flour
- 125 grams butter, room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180 C. Line a 20cm round cake tin. Or any shape you like.Using a food processor with processing blade, add butter, sugar, rind and eggs to bowl. Process until just combined. Add coconut, flour and milk and process for approximately 5 seconds until just combined. Do not OVERMIX .
- Place in prepared tin and bake for 40-50 minutes, checking at 40 minutes. Stand 5 minutes before gently turning out.
- Drizzle with lemon icing when cooled.
Notes
It is important to stick to the processing time as over mixing will result in a heavy cake.
I used a large muffin tin to cook these in instead of a fluted cake tin.
Cooking time or these cakes was 20 minutes, once a skewer inserted into it came out clean.
