LEMON SNACKING CAKE WITH COCONUT GLAZE
With a poundcake-like texture and zippy lemon flavor, this tender treat is loaded with grated citrus zest and topped with a sweet, mellow coconut frosting. Like many snacking cakes, it's easily whisked together without a mixer, and quick to bake. Perfect as an afternoon pick-me-up, it goes as well with a glass of milk as it does with mugs of coffee, tea or hot cocoa.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-9-inch pan, and then line with parchment paper, letting the two long ends hang over the edge of the pan by at least 2 inches.
- Grate 2 tablespoons of zest from the lemons. Juice the lemons so you have 1/4 cup/60 milliliters juice. Add juice and zest to a medium bowl, then whisk in oil, sour cream, coconut milk and eggs.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk wet mixture into dry mixture until smooth.
- Scrape batter into baking pan and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with shredded sweetened coconut. Bake until the top of the cake springs back when lightly pressed in the center, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely.
- When cake is cool, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, oil and salt. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar until smooth. Pour over the cake, and grate some lemon zest over the top. Let the glaze set for at least 30 minutes before serving.

- Place a rack in middle of oven and preheat to 350°. Separate yolks from 7 large eggs over a small bowl to catch egg whites. Place yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Thoroughly wash and dry whisk and mixer bowl, then beat egg whites, 1 tsp. cream of tartar, and remaining ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar on medium-high until meringue is glossy and forms medium peaks, about 4 minutes.
- Using a large rubber spatula, gently fold half of the meringue into yolk mixture (err on the side of mixing less; it’s okay if there are quite a few large streaks of egg white).
- Scrape batter into a metal 13x9" baking pan (no need to grease—batter will rise higher in an ungreased pan) and gently spread into an even layer with a large offset spatula, making sure to work into corners.
- Using a chopstick, poke holes into cake, spacing ½" apart and wiggling chopstick gently to widen holes and reach bottom of pan.
- Heat one 3"-long cinnamon stick, one 13.5-oz. can unsweetened coconut milk, 2 cups whole milk, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar, and 2 tsp.
- Gradually pour 6 cups coconut milk mixture over cake (it may look like too much, but it will all soak in eventually.) Let cake sit, occasionally tilting pan to redistribute any liquid pooling on the surface, until most of liquid is absorbed, about 1½ hours.
- Remove any pieces of cinnamon stick from cake and discard. Wrap cake tightly and chill until cold, at least 3 hours. Transfer leftover coconut mixture in saucepan to an airtight container; cover and chill.
- Just before serving, stir together 1 cup jam or preserves (such as strawberry, guava, or pineapple) and 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat 1 tsp. vanilla extract, remaining 2 cups heavy cream, 2 Tbsp. (25 g) granulated sugar, and ½ tsp.
