Description

A delightful Coconut Lime Yogurt Cake that combines tropical flavors of coconut and zesty lime, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup plain yogurt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lime zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yogurt, sugar, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth, then add the eggs, lime zest, and lime juice, mixing well.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded coconut gently. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  5. Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle a simple glaze made with powdered sugar and a bit of milk or coconut milk over the top. While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle extra shredded coconut on top for added texture and a pretty finish. Let the glaze set before serving.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt instead of plain yogurt.
  • Replace granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative.
  • Use olive oil or melted coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
