Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake | Slimming & Weight Watchers Friendly:

For the full list of ingredients and comprehensive instructions, please see the recipe card at the end of this post. Before you scroll, there’s important stuff to know in the blurb!

Our Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake is so tasty that you’d never guess it was slimming friendly! It’s delicious whether you’re calorie counting or following a plan like Weight Watchers.

We came across the original recipe for this cake and it wasn’t very slimming friendly, so we decided to make a few changes!

We replaced coconut milk with low fat yoghurt, and substituted half the honey for Sweet Freedom Fruit Syrup Dark.

This Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake isn’t too dry and the texture is similar to a normal sponge cake, but a little denser because of the coconut flour. It would also make a great base for other flavours so why not experiment a bit?

You can keep the cake in the fridge for a day or so, but it is best eaten as soon as possible.

What diets is this Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake suitable for?

This Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake recipe is suitable for gluten free diets.

It can be made dairy free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for dairy free versions;

• Greek yoghurt
• Quark

Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.

Coconut flour

Coconut flour is great to use as a substitute for normal flour. Since Coconut flour is rich in fibre, it absorbs more liquid than most other flours.

This means that you can reduce the amount of coconut flour when you use it instead of regular wheat flour.

It’s important to note that not all coconut flours are the same. Different brands can vary in density, they can have slightly different absorption abilities, and they also differ in their nutritional values, so it’s important to check.

What is Sukrin 1?

Sukrin 1 doesn’t have that strange aftertaste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do! It also shares the exact same sweetness and weight to sugar – which makes it really easy to substitute in recipes like this Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake.

We also use Sukrin Icing which is an all-natural granulated sweetener alternative to icing sugar with zero calories.

Sukrin Icing doesn’t have that strange aftertaste that a lot of artificial sweeteners do! It also shares the exact same sweetness and weight to regular icing sugar – which makes it really easy to substitute in recipes like this Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake.

If you are using a powdered sweetener, then please check how it compares to sugar. In some cases you’ll need to use less, as powdered sweeteners weigh less.

The tin

We baked this cake in an 8″ loose base tin similar to this one.

Finally, a pretty good alternative to honey or golden syrup is Sweet Freedom Dark Natural Sweetener. Perfect for this Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake. You can buy it from Amazon.

We use Sukrin 1 which is an all-natural granulated stevia sweetener alternative to sugar with zero calories. You can grab Sukrin 1 over on Amazon UK.

That being said you don’t have to use Sukrin – there are lots of other high quality granulated sweeteners available from the supermarket, such as Canderel Sugarly, and Natvia.

This Coconut and Lemon Curd Cake is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.

As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line the bottom of an 8″ loose base cake tin, and spray with low calorie cooking spray. Spray the sides of the tin as well.

Step 2

Beat eggs, honey, Sweet Freedom Syrup, vanilla and yoghurt until well combined.

Step 3

In another dry bowl, combine all dry ingredients together.

Step 4

Combine the wet with the dry ingredients, and stir until everything is evenly mixed.

Step 5

Allow it to sit for 2 or 3 minutes to let the coconut flour soak up some of the wet ingredients. The batter will be thick, but pourable.

Step 6

Pour the batter into a prepared pan. Bake in the centre of the oven for 35-40 minutes.

Step 7

Allow to cool for half an hour before carefully separating the sides of the cake from the pan, then inverting onto a cooling rack.

Step 8

The cake should cool completely before you cut it in half to layer it. Also, the flavour will be better when cold, so you can refrigerate it to get it cold before you add the curd.

Step 9

When the cake is cold, cut it in half and sandwich it together with the lemon curd (you can mix the curd with some quark if you want to like we did) then spread the topping all over the top and sides of cake. Refrigerate to chill the cake.
