COCONUT AND RASPBERRY JAM LOAF CAKE recipe

Coconut and Raspberry Loaf Cake Recipe

Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • - Cake
  • 225g self raising flour
  • 175g unsalted butter
  • 175g caster sugar
  • 75g dried sweetened coconut*
  • 3 large eggs
  • - Topping
  • 4 tablespoons raspberry conserve or jam
  • 40g dried sweetened coconut*
  • *I used Sweet & Tender Coconut by Sainsbury’s found in the baking aisle

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 160C/320F. You will need a 2lb loaf tin. Lightly grease and line it with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, butter, desiccated coconut in a bowl.
  • Gradually add in the eggs and melted coconut oil to combine.
  • Gently fold in the raspberries and spoon the mixture into the loaf tin and bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • Use a skewer to check if the center is cooked, if not bake for further 15 minutes on the lowest oven shelf. It should be springy to touch with a cracked, pale gold top.
  • Remove from the oven and leave in the tin for 10 minutes to cool before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool.
    Once cold spread the raspberry jam over the top and scatter the remaining coconut on top prompting it to stick to the jam.
