How to Make the Recipe

Let’s dive into the fun part—making this delicious cake!

1. Preheat your oven to gas mark 4.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, desiccated coconut, baking soda, and baking powder.
3. In another bowl, mix together the mango pulp, oil, sugar, and coconut milk until the sugar dissolves.
4. Gently sift the dry ingredients into the mango mixture and fold them together. Be careful not to mix too vigorously! If the batter seems too thick, add a little more coconut milk until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Pour the batter into a lined or greased 10-inch loaf pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, checking at the 30-minute mark. Use a skewer or knife to test for doneness; it should come out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.
8. For the icing, mix the icing sugar, lime juice, and water until you achieve a semi-thick consistency. Drizzle it over the cooled cake.
9. Optionally, garnish with lime zest, slivered nuts, or even rose petals for a beautiful presentation!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Vegan Coconut Milk Cake turns out perfectly:
