Ingredients

1 cup rice flour

1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour

¾ cup all-purpose flour

2 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp salt

1 cup cane sugar

1 cup unsalted butter

2 eggs

4 egg whites

2 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp coconut extract

½ cup skim milk

½ cup coconut milk

2/3 cup shredded, unsweetened coconut

¾ cup sugar

Pinch salt

6 egg yolks

Rind of 1 lime

¾ cup fresh lime juice

¼ cup butter, cubed

Icing sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.

In large bowl, whisk together flours, baking powder and salt.

In separate bowl, beat granulated sugar with butter until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, followed by egg whites, beating well after each addition.

Stir in vanilla and coconut extracts.

Combine regular and coconut milks.

Making three additions of each, alternately beat milks and flour mixture into the butter.

Stir in coconut.

Divide batter between pans; bake in 25 minutes. Let cool.

Combine sugar, salt, yolks, lime rind and juice in heatproof bowl set over pot of simmering water.

Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in butter.

Cover surface directly with plastic wrap and let cool; refrigerate until chilled.

Cut cakes in half crosswise.

Place one layer on cake plate; spread with layer of lime curd, repeating with remaining layers and lime curd and ending with cake layer.

If you ever make this cake again, please add a picture of the finished cake? I'd just love to see what it looks like frosted! I do have to add that this sounds like an incredible recipe. I love that you're using rice flour in it as that makes it so unique! What a wonderful recipe you're sharing, Jojoba! Thank you so much!
