Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup Full-fat coconut milk
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Stir in the sweetened shredded coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry mixture.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and lime zest until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the bread dense.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled bread with powdered sugar before slicing and serving.
