Directions

15 mins to prep

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180℃ and line a loaf tin with unbleached parchment paper.

  2. Step 2

    Combine all the wet ingredients in one bowl and mix well.

  3. Step 3

    In a separate large bowl, sift the flour and baking powder.

  4. Step 4

    Add in the sugar, desiccated coconut, and flax meal and combine.

  5. Step 5

    Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated.

  6. Step 6

    Pour into your prepared loaf tin and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Check after 1 hour as every oven is different.

  7. Step 7

    While the loaf is baking, you can prepare the whipped cream by combining the coconut cream and icing sugar using a whisk to beat it. Set aside in the fridge.

  8. Step 8

    Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely in the loaf tin before removing it from the tin and parchment paper.

  9. Step 9

    When you are ready to serve, spread the whipped cream over generously and finish off with some passionfruit pulp.

Hot tip!

If you’re making this on a warm-hot day, the cream will be okay outside the fridge for a couple of hours before it starts to become very soft. Pop the cake in the fridge if you think it will start to soften too much.
