- In another bowl, mix both types of flour and all other remaining dry ingredients. Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients and mix until you get an smooth batter.
- Grease a 9 x 4 inch loaf tin with a little coconut oil and fill with batter. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until you can stick a toothpick and it comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the icing. Add the icing ingredients to the high-speed blender. Mix until the consistency is smooth.
- Take the cake out of the oven and let cool down 20 minutes before unmolding. Serve topped with the cashew-lime glaze. Enjoy!
