Description

This citrus coconut cake is an absolute delight! I especially like to bake it in the spring, when the citrus fruits are really juicy. The combination of lemon, lime and shredded coconut makes it incredibly aromatic and juicy. The cake is perfect for Sunday coffee or as a sweet surprise for a birthday. The syrup keeps it nice and moist and it tastes delicious. A tip: If you like, you can add some grated tonka bean to the dough - this gives the cake a special touch. The preparation is a bit more complex, but it's definitely worth it!
