Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 g) all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup (60 g) unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (240 ml) full-fat coconut milk
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lime juice (about 2–3 limes)
  • Zest from 2 limes
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Zesty Citrus Glaze:
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp (30 ml) fresh lime juice
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh orange juice
  • 1 tsp finely grated lime zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan thoroughly. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and shredded coconut.
  3. Using an electric mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Mix in the fresh lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until combined.
  6. With the mixer on low speed, add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with two parts of coconut milk (beginning and ending with dry). Mix just until combined after each addition.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking around 45 minutes.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  10. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely before glazing.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lime juice, orange juice, and lime zest until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
  12. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake and let it drip naturally.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and butter for best results. Avoid overmixing once flour is added to keep the crumb tender. If the cake browns too fast but is not cooked inside, cover loosely with foil for the last 15 minutes. Grease bundt pan thoroughly with butter and flour or baking spray with flour to prevent sticking. Let cake cool completely before glazing to prevent glaze from sliding off.
