Coconut Bread . . . for Betsy

Hi Betsy,

Here is the recipe. You will love it!

Coconut Bread

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!
