4 Persons

For the Coconut Bread:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup grated coconut (fresh or dried)
  • 1 tsp baking powder

1) Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.

3) In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

4) Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

5) Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

6) Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7) Allow the Coconut Bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

8) Slice and serve the Coconut Bread as a delicious tropical treat.
