  1. Preheat oven to moderate, 180C. Lightly grease a 20cm-round cake pan and line the base with baking paper.

  2. Sift flour and custard powder together in a large bowl. Stir in sugar, coconut and rind. Add milk, butter and eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat for 2-3 minutes until smooth. Do not over-beat.

  3. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes before turning onto a wire rack to cool completely.
