1

Gather Your Ingredients

First things first, let's gather all the ingredients we'll need to make this delicious Coconut Bread. You will need: - 2 cups all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1 cup granulated sugar - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted - 3/4 cup coconut milk - 3 large eggs - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 cup shredded coconut (sweetened or unsweetened, depending on your preference)

2

Preheat the Oven and Prep the Pan

Now that we have all our ingredients ready, let's move on to preheating the oven. Set the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray. This will ensure that our Coconut Bread doesn't stick to the pan during baking.

3

Combine the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Make sure to mix them well, so there are no lumps and all the ingredients are evenly combined.

4

Mix the Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, coconut milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. This is where the magic happens! Mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated and you have a smooth, creamy mixture.

5

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Now, it's time to bring the dry and wet ingredients together. Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Be careful not to overmix, as we want a tender loaf.

6

Add the Shredded Coconut

To give our Coconut Bread an extra punch of coconut flavor and texture, add the shredded coconut into the batter. Fold it in gently until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7

Bake and Enjoy!

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the back of a spoon. Pop it in the preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. As tempting as it may be, let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, slice yourself a heavenly piece of Coconut Bread and enjoy!
