Yield : 1 9-inch cake

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
  • 1 cup superfine sugar
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • 2 ½ cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 tablespoons coconut milk powder
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • ¼ cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Grease a 9-inch round baking pan.
  • Place self-rising flour, superfine sugar, and 1/2 cup butter in a food processor; pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs, about 20 seconds.
  • Place eggs, milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest in the food processor, and pulse until batter is just mixed, about 10 seconds more.
  • Transfer batter to a large bowl; fold 1 cup coconut into the batter.
  • Pour batter into prepared baking pan, smoothing the surface of the batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Beat 1/4 cup butter with an electric mixer in a bowl until light and creamy.
  • Gradually beat in confectioners sugar, coconut milk powder, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons lemon zest until frosting is smooth.
  • Spread frosting over completely cooked cake.
  • Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup coconut atop frosted cake.
