Coconut Bread

Tonight we are having coconut bread dinner, yummy!!!

I really made it for my visiting teaching people but Drew and Livy want to eat some now . . .so be it.

(Actually for Mutual we are meeting at the temple to do baptisms at 4 pm and then going to In and Out after. So, this is really just an appetizer).

Look how pretty and golden brown it turns out, very pretty. I wasn't planning on posting this, so I didn't take pictures as I mixed it all up! You are on your own, you can do it!



Here is the recipe:

4 eggs
1 c. salad oil
3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 t. coconut extract
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. coconut flakes
1 c. chopped nuts

Spray 3 small pans with Pam. Preheat oven 325 degrees.

Beat eggs. Cream in sugar, oil and coconut extract. Then add floor and dry ingredients. Then add milk, coconut flakes and nuts. Beat well.

Pour into 3 loaf pans. Bake for 45 minutes at 325 degrees.
(If you use a Bundt pan, bake 1 hour and 20 min.)
Loaves will be golden brown and crack a bit.

Glaze: In a saucepan:
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
2 T. butter

Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add 1 t. coconut extract.

While the loaves are still warm (fresh from the oven) pour the glaze over each loaf. Let them cool in the pan to let the glaze absorb all over the loaf.

Gently remove from pans, cover with saran wrap and refrigerate. It tastes great straight from the oven or even better nice and cold from the fridge!

Enjoy!
