Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4. Line 18cm x 32cm rectangle tin with baking parchment.
Arrange the strawberry slices on the base of the baking paper.
Cream together the butter and Siúcra Light Brown Sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest and eggs and whisk after each addition.
Fold in the desiccated coconut, flour and vanilla extract.
Add enough milk to form a soft cake batter.
Spread the cake batter over the strawberries in the baking tin.
Arrange the strawberry halves on top. Sprinkle over the lemon zest and sugar over the top and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes until cooked or when a skewer is inserted and it comes out clean.
