Ingredients
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut 100g
- ¾ cup white sugar 150g
- 3 large eggs at room temperature
- ½ cup canned coconut milk 115g
- ½ cup canola oil 120ml
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or coconut extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour 225g
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the coconut glaze
- ¾ cup powdered confectioner’s sugar 75g
- 1 ½ tablespoons canned coconut milk
To decorate
- shredded or flaked coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Add the coconut, sugar, eggs, coconut milk, oil and vanilla to a large mixing bowl and beat well for a few minutes, until smooth.
- Sfit in the flour, baking powder and salt and gently mix to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven for 55 minutes, or until golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean. You may need to cover the top with foil if its browning too much.
- Allow the coconut bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- To finish, mix the confectioner’s sugar and coconut milk, adding more sugar or coconut milk if needed to get a thick drizzling consistency, then drizzle onto the completely cooled coconut bread. Sprinkle the top with shredded or flaked coconut.
