This amazing Sticky Lime and Coconut Loaf was a throw together one afternoon. I needed afternoon tea for the kids and had no food in the house!
I had a bowl full of limes and started thinking about good combinations. Lime and coconut won and this little beauty was born.
What a wonderful surprise we got when we cut it open and tasted it! Simply divine.
I’m going to say it is possibly even better than my Brilliant Blueberry Lemon Loaf. And I really love that one!
Sticky Lime and Coconut Loaf
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 1 lime zest and juice
- 100 g coconut sugar or sugar of your choice
- 300 g Greek yoghurt or coconut yoghurt
- 50 g butter or coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 150 g unbleached white spelt flour or plain flour or ORGRAN gluten free flour
- 90 g desiccated coconut
- 3 tsp baking powder
For the Lime Syrup
- 75 g coconut sugar or sugar of your choice
- 1.5-2 limes juice only (you need 50g lime juice)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Line base and grease sides of loaf tin.
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove zest from the lime, then add the strips of zest to mixer bowl, along with the sugar. Blitz 20 seconds/speed 8/MC on. Scrape down bowl.
- Add yoghurt, butter, eggs and lime juice. Process 10 seconds/speed 5/MC on.
- Add flour, coconut and baking powder. Combine 10 seconds/speed 4/MC on.
- Pour into prepared tin. Bake 35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the loaf comes out clean.
- When the cake is almost cooked, make the lime syrup by placing sugar and lime juice in mixer bowl. Heat 3 minutes/80/speed 2/MC off.
- When cake is cooked, leave in the tin. Poke a skewer in the top at regular intervals (a few centimetres apart over the entire top of the loaf). Drizzle lime syrup onto loaf, pick up the tin and gently move it to completely coat the surface.
- Leave to cool for 15 minutes before removing from tin and placing on a wire rack to cool completely.

Beautiful cake! Can this be frozen I’m slices?
This is divine! I made it without the icing/glaze and it was still amazing. A strong lime flavour but i love lime and loved the taste.
Made this a few weeks ago and been meaning to tell you it’s so good, I forgot the syrup the first time and was still gobbled up. I used the coconut cream and coconut oil option for dairy free and was perfect!
A massive thumbs up from over here in the UK! This cake is so delicious and moist and yum and …..I could go on. It’s like a mojito in a cake (I might stick some rum in the glaze next time!) Thank you for another fabulous recipie. Do you ship your book overseas? I would love a hard copy. (I work in a very small team of 8 and 7 of us have a thermomix which is pretty unheard of over here. I have sent them all the link to your blog and we are all now making your wonderful… Read more »
Hey Katy, thanks for the glowing review – I love the mojito in a cake reference! Yes I ship the book worldwide – if a few of you from work want the book and would like to order together to save on postage, let me know as I think the shopping cart only allows for shopping overseas for up to two books per order so I will have to manually get a quote for more than this xx
This is brilliant! Thank you. I’ll speak to my colleagues as I am certain they would want a copy. Keep doing what you do, your recipes are amazing!
And thank you thank you for spreading word on my blog over there, that’s really great! In case you haven’t found me on Facebook as well, here’s the link to my group there http://www.facebook.com/groups/Thermobexta
I made this for afternoon tea in my square cupcake tins from coles, very yummy and loved by all, just so easy too
I made this whilst on a diet – omg I’m a strong woman for resisting, especially when all the feedback was glowing – kids and colleagues!
You’re amazing!
Absolutely delicious. Used GF flour and it turned out great.

Have made this twice now and turned out perfect both times! Love the sticky lime syrup! So yummy
So easy to make yet so tasty! This is now my go to cake. I bet it would work just as well with lemons too.
