TROPICAL COCONUT BREAD



Tropical Coconut Bread image

Having a Luau party? Then this is a must but, you'll want to make this throughout the year. The smell alone will get your significant other to release their grip on the remote, the kids will drift out of their bedrooms and the neighbors might come knocking. I dare to say, this might even be an aphrodisiac! It's great alone but if you're adventurous, slice some strawberries on it or drizzle chocolate syrup over it and top it with some whipped cream.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-10 slices per loaf

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons coconut extract
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup shredded coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour two 9 1/2" x 5 1/2" loaf pans.
  • Do not use a mixer with this recipe.
  • Use a spoon or spatula and stir by hand.
  • In medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; mix well.
  • In large mixing bowl, combine sugar, oil, beaten eggs, and coconut extract; mix well.
  • Alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk to sugar mixture and stir only until moist.
  • Stir in shredded coconut.
  • Pour batter into the two prepared loaf pans, place on middle rack and bake for 1 hour.

Tips:

  • Use fresh or unsweetened shredded coconut: Fresh coconut adds a more intense coconut flavor, while unsweetened shredded coconut prevents the bread from becoming too sweet.
  • Toast the coconut before using: Toasting the coconut enhances its flavor and aroma.
  • Use buttermilk instead of regular milk: Buttermilk adds a slight tanginess and moisture to the bread.
  • Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter will make the bread tough.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This allows the bread to set and prevents it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Coconut bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and ingredients. With these tips, you can make the best coconut bread ever!
