Chef Chuck's Lemon Coconut Cake



Torta di Limone

If you love lemons, this cake is for you. I used fresh organic lemon zest and juice to make this cake moist, light and oh so lemony. I added the coconut topping to give another texture to this dessert.

Lemon Coconut Cake

9 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs, separated
2 organic lemons
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/4 cup coconut

Whip egg whites till stiff, set aside. In a mixer blend butter and sugar for 2 minutes, add egg yolks beat till all combined. Pour in juice and zest of 2 lemons and then add flour, baking powder and salt. Fold in egg whites, pour into an 8 inch pan. Sprinkle coconut on top and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
