Ingredients
  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1/2 cup butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup cake flour
  • 1/2 cup cornflour
  • 1 1/2 level tsp BP
  • 2 eggs
  • 125 ml coconut milk
  • Rind of 1 lemon
  • FOR THE LEMON DRIZZLE:
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • Juice and rind of 1 lemon
Instructions
  1. TO MAKE THE CAKE:
  2. Set the oven to 160°C and grease and flour a loaf tin.
  3. Beat all ingredients together (except the lemon rind) with an electric beater for 3 mins. Then stir in the lemon rind and pour the batter into the loaf tin.
  4. Bake in the middle of the oven for 40 minutes or until a tester stick comes out clean.
  5. TO MAKE THE LEMON DRIZZLE:
  6. Put the sugar, lemon juice and rind in a small pot and heat until the sugar dissolves. Taste it for the right balance of sweet to sour and add a little more sugar or honey if it’s too sour.
  7. When you take the cake out of the oven, poke some holes in the cake with a skewer, about half way to the bottom, before pouring over the lemon drizzle.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the loaf tin and then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
