Method
Preheat oven on CircoTherm® to 160°C. Grease and fully line a 23cm cake pan.
Combine in a bowl the flour and Coconut Blend, rub in the butter until the mixture resemble breadcrumbs then stir though the egg to make a soft dough. Press 2/3 of the mixture into the cake pan. Reserve remaining 1/3 for topping.
In a saucepan combine the juice, rind, castor sugar, butter and eggs, whisk over induction setting 5 until the butter has melted, increase the setting to 8, continue stirring and allow the mixture to come quickly to the boil and thicken. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Pour the lime mixture over the prepared base then crumble over the reserved mixture.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden and cake is cooked through. Allow to cool in the tin on a wire rack. Serve sliced with a dollop of cream.
