Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl add the flour and all the other loaf ingredients together and whisk until smooth (the mixture should be smooth but will be thicker rather than runny).
3. Grease a baking tin with olive oil and transfer the mixture to it.
4. Bake on top shelf for 50 minutes checking regularly, at 40 minutes prick the cake with a tooth pick to check for readiness. If it still comes out wet then place in the oven for another 10 minutes. Once baked leave to cool for 20 minutes before icing the cake.
5. Coconut icing preparation: greater the creamed of coconut into a bowl, add the rest of the ingredients and whisk until smooth.
6. Use a spatula to spread the icing over the cake (the icing may be runny but it will thicken).
7. Sprinkle the pomegranate seeds over the the top of of the cake.
8. Bon appetite (:
