CAKE - Marzipan cake Recipe

Ingredients

1/4 c butter
1/4 c coconut oil
1 c sugar
3 eggs
juice of 1/2 lime
grated rind of 1 lime – not tons
1/4 cup milk or coconut milk
1/2 c shredded coconut (unsweetened)
2 tsp almond extract
2 cups almond meal/flour (firmly packed)
1 tsp baking powder
few dashes of salt
flaked almonds for the bottom of the pan (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180ºC (350ºF)

Grease a long cake or loaf pan. In a pan warm the butter and coconut oil until softened to just melted and mix them together well. Add the remaining liquid ingredients and blend. Then add all the dry ingredients and mix well again.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes – I hour. It is a good idea to loosely cover the cake about halfway through baking with tin-foil, so the top doesn’t over-brown/burn.

Let the cake cool in the pan a little and then turn it out to cool completely.
