I have a basic cake mix that I use for everyday cakes for lunch boxes and snacks; I simply change the flavouring/additional ingredient, such as vanilla, banana, cocoa etc. Sometimes, however, to make the best of a flavour, it needs to be changed-up a little. With my Harry Nilsson Cake (here's the song/brainworm. You're welcome.) I added extra egg to counteract the dryness of the coconut. The layer of Rose's Lime Marmalade between the sponge and the coconut topping also contributes to the moistness of the cake, as well as strengthening the lime flavour without making it too tart.
Respect is due to Mr Harry Nilsson and his most excellent song for the inspiration for this recipe.
