Coconut and Lime drizzle cake

This recipe from ‘GoodFood 101 teatimes treats’ has been nagging at me for a while. It felt like a cursed recipe, because every time I thought, yeah, I’ll make it, I couldn’t get any limes or they only had one left. Or worse, someone would say, ‘can’t you make … instead?’. Mostly, however, I had trouble with the limes.
If this was the 1980s, this would have been ideal for ‘Murder, she wrote’. I would have contacted Aunt Jessica and I’m confident that when she began her investigation, there would be a sudden murder of a mutual friend of ours whom neither of us had ever mentioned.
And the solitary lime sat on the shelf would have been involved. At the end, we would be in the freeze-frame as we sipped mojitos with the cursed lime adorning our glasses as we grinned our blinding white teeth at each other for the beginning of the music. Oh how we laughed as we recovered from the grisly death of the mutual friend with startling speed.
Anyway, this is not the 1980s and I do not have an Aunt Jessica (and that’s a shame, because frankly, most of her ‘nieces’ were pretty well-heeled) but there you go. I acquired some limes. Game on.
