Cute-as-a-button Cosset Cafe makes a specialty of sweet treats and fresh salads. Here, owner Kellie Gray lifts the lid on a favourite: coconut and lime loaf.

"This is a great recipe for busy mums," she notes in an email passing it on. "It's easy-peasy and kids love it!"

Like this recipe, her kitchen is free of animal products - though there's still cows' milk in the coffee for those that like it. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 cup white flour
• 3/4 cup fine desiccated coconut
• 1/4 cup long thread coconut
• 3/4 cup organic sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• zest from two limes
• a pinch of sea salt

• 3/4 cup soy milk
• 1/4 cup coconut cream
• juice from two limes

Method

1. Mix together dry ingredients.

2. Mix together wet ingredients.

3. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and fold through gently.

4. Pour into a lined loaf tin (22x10cm). Top with extra long thread coconut. Bake at 160 degrees centigrade in a fan force oven for about 40minutes.

5. Test with a skewer. When done, the loaf should be firm to the touch and the skewer should come out clean.
