- 2 large eggs
- 1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup fresh Key lime juice, divided

Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Generously butter a 10″ springform pan and line bottom with a round of parchment paper.
Toast coconut in oven, stirring once or twice, until golden, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool. Leave oven on.
Beat together butter, granulated sugar, and zest with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs 1 at a time. Stir together flour and 1/2 cup coconut (reserve remainder for topping). Stir together milk and 2 tablespoons lime juice. At low speed, mix flour and milk mixtures into egg mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour.
