Coconut Soaked Lime Cake

1. Preheat the oven to 350F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the sugar and zest of 3 limes. Using your fingers, rub the zest into the sugar to release even more flavor.
4. Now add the butter and coconut oil and mix until creamy and well combined, about 1 minute. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until completely blended, about 30 seconds.
5. Dump in the dry ingredients and mix. About halfway through, pour in the lime juice and 1 cup (240g) coconut milk and continue to mix until smooth and combined. At the very end, switch to a silicone spatula to mix by hand to ensure everything is evenly mixed. 
6. Spread the thin batter in the prepared pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until evenly puffed and the center springs back when lightly tapped.
7. While the cake bakes, combine the coconut soak ingredients in a pourable container: remaining coconut milk from the can (a little over 1/2 cup), 1/2 cup (120g) sweetened condensed milk, zest of 2 limes, coconut extract, and 2 tablespoons of water. Use a fork to beat until smooth and fluid.
8. When the cake is fresh from the oven, use a skewer or fork to prick holes all throughout the cake. Pour the soak evenly over the cake and wait a couple minutes for it to disappear and sink in. Transfer to the refrigerator uncovered for about 1 hour to cool completely before topping (if you plan to keep the cake in the refrigerator for longer, cover with plastic wrap after it has completely cooled).

Coconut Whipped Cream

1. Using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream on high speed just until it ever-so-slightly starts to thicken.  Then pour in the rest of the can of sweetened condensed milk along with the coconut extract and whip until it reaches soft peaks. 
2. Spread the smooth whipped cream over the cooled cake and top with coconut flakes and zest of the remaining 1 lime.
3. When slicing and serving the cake, the soak can make the bottom a little bit sticky so I suggest using a small spatula to lift out the slices. Enjoy!
