Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust the pan with flour to prevent sticking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lime zest until smooth.
-
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Fold in ¾ cup of shredded coconut and the chopped macadamia nuts into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of shredded coconut on top of the batter.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Slice the Queensland Cake into wedges and serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of coconut ice cream for an extra indulgent touch.
