This is an adaptation of a cake recipe that I’ve had for many years. The addition of the rice and pastry flours keep it light and fluffy along with the egg whites, and coconut milk, shredded coconut and coconut extract add a triple flavour punch to this amazing cake. Read more The lime curd isn’t too sweet and nicely balances the tropical sensations nicely. Frosting though, I find, is overkill. See less
