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
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
