Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, coconut milk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the coconut loaf and serve it as is, or with a spread of butter or a drizzle of honey.
