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.

Categories     Quick Breads

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:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop your fruits, measure out your dry ingredients, and preheat your oven before you start mixing your batter. This will help you save time and ensure that your bread bakes evenly.
  • Don't overmix your batter: Overmixing can make your bread tough and dense. Mix your ingredients just until they are combined, and then stop. A few lumps are okay.
  • Use ripe fruit: Ripe fruit will add sweetness and flavor to your bread. If you're using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before adding it to your batter.
  • Grease and flour your loaf pan: This will help your bread to rise evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake your bread at the right temperature: The temperature of your oven will vary depending on the recipe you're using. Make sure to follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
  • Don't overbake your bread: Overbaking can make your bread dry and crumbly. Check your bread for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If the toothpick comes out clean, your bread is done.
  • Let your bread cool before slicing: This will help the bread to set and prevent it from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Tropical Paradise Quick Bread is a delicious and easy-to-make bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and tropical flair, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy bread recipe, give Tropical Paradise Quick Bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
