While the cakes are cooking, make the palm sugar syrup. Place the palm sugar, lime juice and water in a saucepan. On a barbecue side burner or stove top, over medium heat, simmer for 15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cooled, stir in the lime zest.
After 20 to 25 minutes, check the cakes are done by inserting a skewer into the cake. If the skewer comes out clean, they are done. Using heatproof gloves, remove the cakes from the barbecue and set aside for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cakes with the palm sugar syrup and coconut ice cream.
