Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
- In a larger mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, coconut extract, and coconut milk.
- Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
- Stir in shredded coconut.
- Pour into a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan and bake in the center of the oven for 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and let rest in pan for 10 minutes.
- Loosen edges from pan with a butterknife (or something of that nature), and turn onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
- When the loaf is cool, combine powdered sugar and coconut milk, and spread it over the loaf. Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut as desired. Slice and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Store coconut bread leftovers in an airtight container on the counter for up to 3 days. You can refrigerate it to make it last a day or two longer.
- To Freeze Entire Loaf: Wrap the loaf in plastic wrap or put it in a freezer-safe container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost in the refrigerator, then bring it to room temperature to slice.
- To Freeze Slices: Wrap each slice in plastic wrap. Place the slices in a freezer bag and put them in the freezer for up to 3 months. Take out slices as and when you want some coconut bread and leave it on the counter to defrost or zap them in the microwave for a minute to defrost it even quicker.
