Coconut bread: sweet, moist, rich in coconut flavour. Made with coconut milk and grated coconut, it's ideal for snacks or dessert you can cooking it at home in 1 hrs.

The origins of coconut bread are rooted in the tropical regions where coconuts flourish, such as Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific Islands. Traditional recipes have been passed down through generations, with each culture adding its own unique twist to the beloved bread. Today, coconut bread is enjoyed worldwide, cherished for its irresistible taste and versatility in both sweet and savory dishes.

Ingredients:

240g plain (all-purpose) flour
75g grated coconut
250ml coconut milk
150g granulated sugar
4 tbsp melted butter
2 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Method:

Pre-heat your oven to 180°C and grease a loaf tin.

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, grated coconut, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted butter, and eggs.

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not over-mix or the cake will become heavy.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf tin and smooth the top with a spatula or the back of a spoon.

Bake in your pre-heated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake emerges cleanly.

Allow the coconut bread to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, slice the coconut bread and serve.
