Simple Coconut Sweet Bread
Ingredients
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9×5 inch (23×13 cm) loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
- Run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the bread, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Baking Tips for the Best Results:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
- Sift the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth and even batter.
- Do not overmix the batter as this can result in a tough and dry bread.
- Use a toothpick to check if the bread is fully cooked by inserting it in the center – if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from falling apart.
