I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I still enjoyed this cake. The lime flavor was very prominent.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a bit too dense for my liking. I think I might try adding some baking powder next time to see if that helps.

I was intrigued by the idea of a cassava flour cake, and I'm glad I tried it. It was moist and flavorful, with a slightly nutty taste.

Overall, it was a good cake. However, I found the lime flavor to be a bit overpowering. Perhaps next time I'll reduce the amount of lime zest.
