    A strawberry and coconut cake made with coconut flour.  Flavoured with lime, this is a perfect cake for a summers day.

    This cake could be cooked into two pieces (if you doubled up the recipe) and placed together as a Victoria sponge, but I just baked one level this time.  It is a lovely soft sponge and baked with the wonderful coconut flour.  

    As well as using coconut flour, there are other coconut ingredients such as oil and milk which gives the cake a slight coconut taste.  Combined with strawberries and lime, it gives a lovely light summery cake.   You could feed this to "flour eaters" and they would never know the difference!  I slathered mine with whipped cream and decorated with strawberries.  It was delicious!  

    To be honest, I think the only thing that the chopped strawberries in the sponge give is added moisture, as cooked strawberries do not give any additional flavour to the cake.  They just combine well with the lime and coconut flavours.   But adding them on top definitely gives an added zing to the cake!

      Hi Diva - I have everything for this cake apart from coconut oil. can you recommend anything else?
      I have a coffee date with a friend on Saturday and would like to take this with me.
      PS - the coconut / blueberry cheesecake was divine and no one could tell it was healthy.

        Hi Yasmin. Glad the cheesecake went well. You can often use melted butter instead of coconut oil. I haven't tried it with this cake but it might work out.
