Servings: 1 loaf
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 stick butter or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup softened
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract could use vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup of sweetened flake coconut
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside. Cream sugar, butter and eggs in a mixing bowl.
Pour in flour mixture along with buttermilk and coconut extract and continue mixing until all ingredients are wet. Fold in coconut.
We sprinkle coconut on top of the loaf before it goes in the oven for added texture and it looks great that way.
Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until center tests done. Makes 1 loaf.
