Ingredients

LIME ICING
Cook's tip: Use ripe bananas, as they have more natural sugars and robust flavour. If they’re not ripe enough, put them in a brown paper bag and leave in the warmest part of your kitchen, such as the top of the fridge.

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 170°C. Grease a 33 x 23cm rectangular tin with cooking oil spray and line base and sides with baking paper.

2.

Put all cake ingredients, except coconut and zest, in a large bowl and beat with hand whisk until well combined. Pour into tin and smooth surface.

3.

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked when tested with a skewer. Remove from oven and cool in tin for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Remove baking paper and put cake on serving plate or board.

4.

Meanwhile, put icing ingredients in a large bowl, stirring until smooth. If necessary, add a little water to make mixture the consistency of runny honey. Spread icing over cooled cake.

5.

Garnish cake with coconut and lime zest. Cut into 28 pieces and serve.
