Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (160g) fine semolina
- 1 cup (240g) plain Greek yogurt
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (120ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup (80g) desiccated coconut
- Zest of 2 limes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch round cake pan, lining the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the fine semolina, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and desiccated coconut.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add the vegetable oil and lime zest, stirring until combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
