Banana Coconut Tea Bread image

I found this recipe in my old Sunset Cook Book of Breads, Twelfth Printing 1973. Toasted coconut enhances this easy-to-make banana tea bread. The flavors really intensify after 3 to 4 days of mellowing. Keep it tightly wrapped to preserve its moisture content. I usually double this recipe to compensate for the wait. Enjoy!

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup soft butter or 1/3 cup margarine
2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 cups regular all-purpose flour (sift before measuring)

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup mashed ripe banana
1 cup toasted flaked coconut
