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!
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!
Cut the cake into thick slices and serve! The cake is moist, tender, and full of coconut and lime flavor. You will feel like you are on a tropical island after one bite! This easy Coconut Lime Loaf cake is the perfect dessert for spring and summer! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
