Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the sugar, oil and coconut extract and whisk to combine.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add the dry mixture and the buttermilk to the egg mixture. Stir together until it is almost combined, then add the coconut and stir just until combined. Don’t overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and transfer to the oven.
- Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. If the bread starts to brown too much, lightly cover it with foil.
- When the bread is almost finished baking, combine the sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan and set it over medium heat. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 5 minutes. Remove it from the heat and stir in the coconut extract.
- Remove the bread from the oven, and, leaving the bread in the pan, poke holes in the bread with a long skewer. Pour the syrup over the hot bread.
- Allow the bread to sit at room temperature for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
- For high altitude, I added an extra 2 tablespoons of flour and reduced that baking soda to 1/4 teaspoon.
