This recipe is MEWS free, gluten free, egg free and depending on your choice of flour, corn free, potato free too. I think it's also evidence for people like me who can bake with eggs that they are NOT required for a lovely, light texture and a large cake that rises!
Ingredients
- 300 g free from flour
- 2tsp free from baking powder
- 1tsp ground cinnamon
- 4tbsp flaxseed or linseed
- 225g golden caster sugar
- 150g desiccated coconut
- 350ml coconut milk
- 50 ml sunflower oil
- 900g loaf tin
Method
- Pre heat oven to 180 and lightly grease the loaf tin
- Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon in a large bowl, add ground flaxseed, caster sugar and coconut and mix together.
- Pour over the coconut milk and sunflower oil stir until you have a batter.
- Tip into tin and bake in the oven for 45-50mins until it is slightly risen and golden.
- Leave to cool and turn on to a rack.
Serve warm or cold!
I love the flavour of coconut so I'd like to try this recipe - thank you!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely. I do like coconut so will have to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteI've never tried making a coconut loaf before but it sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI am not a coconut fan, but I do think it is amazing how you can create traditional looking food, without the 'usual' ingredients x

Oooh - would this be suitable for people with coeliac disease? We have a family coming round soon, and the two little girls both have coeliac. I'd love to make this for them!

ReplyDeleteThis looks lovely - we are big fans of coconut in this house and I really dislike eggs being used in anything so this would be perfect for us. I really want to get into using linseed more too so this is a great way to use it.

Mmm, I would love a warm slice of this with a cuppa about now. Thanks for sharing yet another brilliant 'free from' recipe. And thanks so much for linking up with #recipeoftheweek - I've pinned and tweeted this post and there's a fresh linky going live at 6pm this evening :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a recent convert to eggless cakes - they have such a good texture. Your coconut cake sounds scrumptious. I've made one using coconut oil, coconut flour and coconut sugar as well for an all over coconut cake ;-)
