How to make it

  • Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C. Lightly grease and line a 20 x 30cm slice pan.
  • In a small saucepan, combine butter and golden syrup. Stir over heat until smooth.
  • In a large bowl, combine self-raising flour, coconut and sugar. Stir in butter mixture. Gradually blend in combined milk and eggs, until smooth.
  • Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked when tested. Turn cake onto a wire rack to cool.
  • Honey icing: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine icing sugar, butter, honey, vanilla essence, and enough hot water to make thick, spreadable icing.
  • Spread icing over cooled cake. Cut into squares. Cake can be stored in an airtight container.

    Hi, I made your cake today. Beautiful moist cake. Love it. I might change the icing a bit for my taste (not used to honey icing )but a nice combination. Definately a keeper recipe for me. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes. Thanks for posting this one:o)
    Also, I made this in a round cake pan and baked for 31-32 mins at 160 forced fan oven. I would make it in a slice pan next time like you suggested just because my oven bakes a bit hot.
