Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 cups Coconut milk
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.

Step 3

Stir in the shredded unsweetened coconut, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the batter together using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; stir just until no dry streaks of flour remain.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Optionally, dust the cooled bread with powdered sugar before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
