Eggless Lemon Coconut Bread

For this month's Baking eggless group ,the recipe given was Lemon coconut bread .I have not tried any lemon flavoured cake in my baking and decided to make a small loaf cake.The flavour is quite interesting with the lemon and coconut combination.I have used condensed milk as egg replacer here and the cake turned out soft and moist.

Ingredients:

For the cake
All purpose flour	¾ cup+ 1 tblsp
Sweetened condensed milk	½ tin
Butter	50 gms
Powdered sugar	2 tblsp
Baking powder	1 tsp
Baking soda	1/2 tsp
Salt	A pinch
Lemon juice	1 tblsp
Lemon zest	½ tblsp
yoghurt	2 tblsp
Milk	½ cup
Vanilla essence	½ tsp
Dessicated coconut and almond flakes	As needed
For the filling
Cream cheese	40 gms
Dessicated coconut	¼ cup
Powdered sugar	4 tblsp
For the glaze
Powdered sugar	¼ cup
Milk or water	As needed

Method:

• Mix all the ingredients given for the filling and keep aside.
• Preheat oven to 170 °C.
• Sift Flour,baking powder,baking soda and salt.
• Take a mixing bowl and add the condensed milk,melted butter.Mix well with a whisk.
• Add the yoghurt,Milk,lemon juice,lemon zest,vanilla essence and mix well.
• Slowly add the flour and mix gently till there are no lumps.
• Take a greased loaf pan .Pour half of the batter.Spread the prepared cream cheese filling evenly and pour the remaining batter on top of it.Sprinkle some dessicated coconut and almond flakes on top and bake at 170 °C for 30-40 mins till the top turns golden in colour and a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.
• Allow to cool for 10 mins.Slowly take the loaf out of the pan.
• For the glaze,mix powdered sugar with little milk/water and pour on top of the cooled cake.
• Slice and serve.

Note:

• The original recipe uses sweetened coconut flakes.I have substituted it with dessicated coconut here.I also used almond flakes for topping.
