Adding a generous amount of lime zest to this coconut yoghurt loaf creates a bewitching perfume as it bakes in the oven. The hint of tartness makes it particularly good toasted with a thick smear of butter, honey or berry jam. Lemon or orange also works well if you do not have any limes in your fruit bowl.
