Coconut and Lime Cake

No special story behind this cake. Today I wanted to make a little cake so I stood in the pantry and stared. Then I opened the fridge. Closed the fridge. Stared in the pantry. Opened the fridge. And thus, a cake was born. I always aim to make little desserts - to prevent myself from eating family sized cakes on my own!

COCONUT & LIME CAKE
Gently melt together:
- 1/2 a can of coconut cream
- 1/2 a can of sweetened condensed milk 
- 75g of butter
Set aside to cool then add 1 egg and a bit less than 1 cup of self-raising flour.
My 3 layers of mini cakes took 17 minutes to bake at 160 C.
Take care not to overcook it as you want to keep the cake moist.
To frost, you can find the buttercream recipe here.
I scaled it down to 2 egg whites, 1/2 cup of sugar and 125g butter.
I added the juice of 1 lime instead of the melted chocolate.
