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.

This cake is delicious! We enjoyed it served with a dollop of Greek yogurt both warm and cold. My son even asked for some in his lunch box for school.
I used an 8 inch, and it turned out perfectly. Ate it before I got a picture, lol.
Absolutely delicious! Such a tasty cake
Wow I just made this cake as I have been given a heap of limes. And it is absolutely devine! I’m normally a chocolate cake person but this tastes amazing. I made them in little loaf tins and just greased and floured the tins. Yum, Yum, Yum, taking these to my P&C meeting this arvo, I’m sure the cake will be a hit!
Absolutely delicious! Thanks Bec for another awesome cake ??
This is the first cake I have ever made. I am a bloke. My wife just had a C-section and we needed cake for the kids for snacks. We have had a thermomix for about a month. Thanks for making my first cake so amazing. I appreciate the recipe. Cheers
Michael, your comment brought a big smile to my face. I am so pleased you chose this as your introduction to cake making and that it hit the spot. All the best to you and your family with the new bub 🙂
This is a beautifully moist cake. My family of 3 teenaged boys gave it a huge sticky nod of approval. It will definitely be on rotation here xxxxx
Made this yesterday substituting raw sugar for the coconut sugar in the cake and the topping, tasted amazing and had a wonderful smell while cooking.
hi Bec
if i were to use a cake tin, what size should I use.. a 6 inch? or an 8 inch… thank you
I used an 8 inch, and it turned out perfectly. Ate it before I got a picture, lol.
Wow! Absolutely love how simple this loaf is to make and how flavoursome it is.
I used Greek Vanilla yoghurt to save a trip to the shops and it was perfect!
The smell will leave you tasting it warm and pudding-like with the added bonus of a cool cake for later on (if it lasts that long!)
