Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan, and line your 2lb Loaf Tin with parchment paper!

Step 2

Beat together the unsalted butter or baking spread and the caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add in the self raising flour, eggs and desiccated coconut and beat again until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Pour the mix into the tin, and bake the cake in the oven for 50-55+ minutes! Test the cake with a skewer (and also listen for a bubbling/crackling sound as this noise means its not finished baking)

Step 5

Leave the cake to cool in the tin.

Step 6

Once the cake has cooled fully, carefully spread the jam on the top of the cake.

Step 7

Sprinkle on the desiccated coconut and enjoy!
