This luscious lemony lemon coconut oil cake is so easy to make and delicious to eat. The sharp lemon glaze compliments it beautifully.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil warmed to liquid state
- 3/4 cup sugar
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 3 extra-large eggs
- 2 cups all purpose/cake flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
for the glaze
- 1 cup icing/powdered sugar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1-2 teaspoons coconut milk might not be necessary
- pistachio nuts optional
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180°c and line a standard loaf cake tin with parchment/baking paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, sugar and lemon zest then add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition.
- Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder then add to the sugar and egg mixture, alternating with the coconut milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf tin and place in the oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack and allowing to cool completely.
- When the cake is cool, mix together the icing sugar and lemon juice (I do this in my mini food processor) and if the mixture is too thick, add a few teaspoons of coconut milk. You want the mixture to be thick enough to glaze the cake.
- When the cake is cool, pour over the glaze and top with pistachios.
