Zesty Lime and Coconut Cake

Zesty Lime and Coconut Cake

This vegan recipe is super quick to make and works well as a base for lots of different flavours - here with lime zest and coconut, but we have more ideas below. As well as being vegan, it only has half the added sugar you might expect as it follows our half sugar to flour rule for healthy baking. So, it’s delicious, versatile and not too sweet -what’s not to like!

Ingredients

60ml sunflower oil

200ml oat milk

100g light brown sugar

Zest of a lime

40g dessicated coconut

200g self raising flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp bicarinate of soda

Medium loaf tin, lined with baking parchment

Method

Blend the first four ingredients together, then add the remaining ingredients and whisk together. Pour into the prepared loaf tin and bake at 180c for 20-25 mins until golden brown.
