Ingredients

Method

Pre-heat oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Sift flour, salt and baking powder together in a bowl. Rub in butter until it feels like fine breadcrumbs. Add coconut, lemon zest and sugar.

In a separate bowl beat egg, add 100ml/3½ fl oz milk and vanilla extract. Make a hole in the flour mixture and add liquid egg/milk mix. Blend altogether until mixture has a stiff consistency. Add the additional milk if needed.

Place in a greased 15cm (6 inch) cake tin and bake at 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4 for 40 minutes or until an inserted knife in the middle comes out clean.
