Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean, making sure not to over bake.
Remove from oven.
Let the loaf to cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes. This loaf is quite delicate so removing it too early may cause it to break a little.
Remove from pan by lifting up parchment paper and let it cool completely on a wire cooling rack.
Icing
In a small mixing bowl, combine icing sugar, lemon juice, coconut water and mix well.
Add more icing sugar until desired consistency. Mine was smooth and thick.

Let sit for 10 minutes until it sets.
Serve and enjoy!
