Coconut Lime Loaf Cake

Today is Josh’s birthday and we are celebrating with balloons, party hats, and Coconut Lime Loaf Cake! Josh loves all things lime. He usually asks for Key Lime Pie or a Key Lime Tart for his birthday dessert, but this year we are celebrating with cake. Caleb wanted a cake so Josh picked his favorite Coconut Lime Pound Cake to make Caleb happy. He’s a good dad, he always puts his boys first…and I think everyone wins with this simple loaf cake, it is amazing! Everyone loves it!

Coconut Lime Loaf Cake Recipe

I love making loaf cakes because they are super simple and very forgiving. I don’t have to make layers and I don’t have to worry about frosting the cake. This cake gets baked in a loaf pan and there is no frosting involved, just a simple lime glaze.

The cake is made with coconut milk, coconut oil, coconut extract, and coconut! The coconut game is strong! Don’t worry, we left room for some lime too. The cake has fresh lime juice, zest, and a lime glaze. The combo of coconut and lime is perfection!

After I get the batter in the pan, I sprinkle the cake with a little coconut. The coconut automatically gets toasted in the oven, creating a nice toasted coconut top! Drizzle with the lime glaze and you have one beautiful cake!

  1. 5 stars
    This is a fabulous recipe if you love coconut and lime flavors together in one delicious loaf cake.
    Iโ€™ve made this recipe 6-8 times and it just keeps getting better each time I make it.
    I switched to using cake flour ( Pillsbury Softasilk enriched cake flour) and “So Delicious” dairy free coconut milk. The result is a moist cake, that I can bake for the entire 60 minutes without darkening the edges. I also use a white ceramic Corning loaf pan .
    Bravo to twopeasandtheirpod !

  2. This turned out great! I didn’t have any coconut milk the first time so I used almond milk but still came out really good also didn’t have the extract so I used vanilla.
