Coconut Yogurt Cake

Coconut Yogurt Cake

Boring name, but a beautiful cake.

125g butter, softened
1 cup caster sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 cup self raising flour
1/2 cup plain flour
200g greek yogurt
2/3 cup milk

icing
2 cups icing sugar
1 1/3 cups desiccated coconut
2 egg white, beaten lightly
pink food colouring

Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Grease deep 23cm square cake pan and line base with baking paper.
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy in a small mixing bowl. Beat in eggs one at a time. Transfer mixture to a larger bowl and stir in coconut, sifted flours, yogurt and milk in two batches. Spread mixture into pan and bake cake about 40 minutes. Stand in pan for five minutes before turning out.
To make the icing sift the icing sugar into a medium bowl (just to ensure you've now used every bowl in your kitchen), stir in coconut and egg white. Place half the mixture in a small bowl and tint with pink colouring. Mix it all back in together and spread over cooled cake.
