Lemon Glaze Coconut Recipe

Makes 8-12 slices

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup or 2 sticks softened butter

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons grated lime zest

5 large separated eggs

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 1/2 cups shredded coconut

Lemon Glaze:

2 cups icing sugar

1/4 cup or 1/2 melted butter

1/2 teaspoon green food coloring

2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit degree. Butter and flour a 9-inch baking pan. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and lime zest in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add the egg yolks one a time until just blended after each addition.

2. With mixer at low speed, gradually beat in the dry ingredients, alternating with the lemon juice. With mixer at high speed, beat the egg whites in a large bowl until stiff peaks form. Use a large rubber spatula to fold them into the batter. Fold in the coconut.

3. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted turns out clean. Cool the cake completely in the pan on a rack.

4. Lemon Glaze: Mix the icing sugar and butter in a medium bowl. Beat in the food coloring if desired and enough lemon juice to make a fairly thin glaze. Drizzle over the cake.
