lemon coconut custard cake

bismillahirrahmanirraheem..
assalamu'alaikum wrm wbt

ingatan untuk diri sendiri pada hari ini..
sebelum buat sesuatu perkara, baca bismillah & ingat Allah..
niat dihati tujuan buat perkara itu kerana Allah
masak utk anak2 kerana Allah
masak utk teman2 di opis kerana Allah
insyaAllah.. ada keberkatannya..

kek ni dibuat sempena meeting dgn para staff
sempena hari ulangtahun salah seorang senior staff
tapi takdak gaya macam kek hepibeday2u langsung!
takpa.. janji semua warga kerja boleh makan (7 out of 8 are guys)
kalau kek hepibeday2u penuh aising org2 lelaki kurang minat
err.. kenyataan tersebut berdasarkan org2 lelaki yg ada disekeliling saya

moist but crumbly - mabeles!
on 2nd tot; i think crumbly but moist sounds better.

• 1¼ cups self-raising flour

• 1 cup caster sugar
• ½ cup desiccated coconut
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon rind
• 1 cup milk

• 2 eggs

Coconut icing

• 1¼ cups icing sugar <-- i reduced to 3/4cups
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon grated lemon rind

1. Preheat oven to moderate, 180C. Lightly grease a 20cm-round cake pan and line the base with baking paper.
2. Sift flour and custard powder together in a large bowl. Stir in sugar, coconut and rind. Add milk, butter and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Do not over-beat.
3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
4. Coconut icing. Sift icing sugar into a heat-proof bowl. Stir in juice and rind. Mix until smooth. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and heat gently, stirring until mixture is of spreadable consistency. 
5. Spread icing over cooled cake. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. Serve topped with lemon zest.
