Ingredients
The following ingredients have 8 Servings
- 1/2 cup 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 2 limes
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- Juice of 1 lime
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream, half-and-half or milk
- Shredded coconut, optional
Instruction
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9 × 4- inch loaf pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add yogurt, eggs, vanilla, lime zest, and lime juice; blend until smooth. Add flour and baking soda; mix on low speed until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake 60-80 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
- After cake has cooled completely, prepare the glaze. Using a hand mixer, mix powdered sugar, lime juice, coconut extract, and heavy cream in a medium bowl until smooth and pourable. Pour glaze over the cooled cake, using a rubber spatula to spread the glaze evenly. Sprinkle with shredded coconut if desired. Allow to cool completely before slicing. Store in an airtight container, up to 5 days.
- Enjoy!
