Yield 2 loaves, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

6 ounces dried fruit (or raisins)
4 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk
1/4 lb margarine, melted

1 small coconut, grated (about 2 cups)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F & grease two 9-inch loaf pans.
In a small bowl, add dried fruit & 1/4 cup of the 4 cups of flour, then strain flour into a large bowl, leaving the dried fruit coated with a bit of flour. Set the dried fruit aside.
In that same large bowl, add the rest of the flour then whisk together the flour, baking powder & salt, before adding the sugar, beaten egg, milk, melted margarine, vanilla extract & coconut milk, whisking to combine well.

Tips:

- Use fresh, unsweetened coconut milk for the best flavor. You can also use canned coconut milk, but be sure to use full-fat coconut milk and stir it well before using. - If you don't have coconut extract, you can use 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract instead. - To make a gluten-free version of this bread, use gluten-free flour instead of all-purpose flour. - This bread can be made in a bundt pan, loaf pan, or muffin tins. If you're using a bundt pan, be sure to grease and flour the pan before adding the batter. - Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The baking time will vary depending on the size and shape of your pan. - Let the bread cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze set properly. - Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bread for up to 2 months.
