Harry Nilsson Cake


Ingredients: 




  • 250g butter

  • 250g caster sugar

  • 300g flour

  • 3 medium free range eggs

  • 1 sachet (approx 11g) of baking powder (or use self-raising flour)

  • 75g desiccated coconut, plus extra for topping

  • 2 small limes

  • Couple of large spoonfuls of Rose's Lime Marmalade


Prep time: 10 mins, if using an electric whisk like me!

Oven temp: 180 (fan-assisted)

Cook time:  Depends on cake mould/tin.  Listen to the cake, and if it's no longer making noise, it's cooked.  If it's making smoke, it's overcooked. ;)










Instructions: 




  • Cream together the butter and sugar

  • Add the eggs, mixing thoroughly

  • Sift in the flour and baking powder, but hold off on mixing

  • Add the coconut and the zest and juice of the limes

  • Mix thoroughly, adding a little milk if necessary, until smooth and even.

  • Pop into lined, greased tin or (I prefer) a silicone mould and bake.

  • Once the cake has cooled, smear the top with the marmalade and coat in coconut.
