Bounty Chocolate & Coconut Loaf Cake
Add the eggs and milk and whisk in until smooth
Gently whisk in the dessicated coconut, cocoa powder and the self raising flour, using a hand whisk
Pour the mixture into the loaf tin and bake for an hour, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool fully
To make the buttercream, use an electric mixer or a spoon to mix together the butter and icing sugar until they start to combine, then add the coconut extract and milk, and mix until smooth
Put it into a piping bag and pipe it onto the loaf cake, or spread on with a spoon or spatula
Decorate with the chopped up Bounty bars
Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place and eat within 3 days. You can also freeze this cake if wrapped well for up to 3 months
Notes
Make sure all your ingredients (particularly the butter and eggs) are at room temperature before you start baking.
For the best flavour, make sure to use a good quality coconut extract for the buttercream, I recommend avoiding using an essence. You can also use a
vanilla etxract if you can’t get hold of a coconut one.
I used a baking spread for the cake and unsalted butter for the buttercream.
You will need a 2lb loaf tin for this recipe (you can test the size of your loaf tin by seeing how much water the tin can hold, 2lb will hold about 2 pints/1100mls of water). If you have a 1lb loaf tin, simply halve the ingredient amounts.
For easy lining of the tin, use a loaf cake tin liner*.
Although I provide cup measurements, I highly recommend weighing your ingredients out using digital kitchen scales*. It is the most accurate way to measure ingredients and will ensure the best results. Digital scales are very low cost and can be purchased for around £12 ($16.50) .
For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons* and not the type of spoons you eat with. Again this will ensure accuracy and provide the best results.
