Instructies

Grease a 20cm round cake pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edges.

Beat butter, sugar and rinds in the small bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.

3 Add coconut milk, coconut and combined sifted flours. Stir gently until combined. Spoon into prepared pan. Smooth over top.

4 Cook in a moderately slow r oven (160°C) for about 1 hour or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Stand in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer cake to a wire rack. Place rack over a tray.

Meanwhile, to make the drizzle, stir all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine.

Using a skewer, pierce warm cake all over from top through to the base. Gradually spoon drizzle over cake, allowing it to soak in. Stand for 10 minutes.
