Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Bread from the Caribbean.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 9x5-inch loaf pan with softened butter to ensure a perfect release.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together all-purpose flour, white sugar, shredded coconut, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until the mixture is harmoniously combined.
Step 3
Next, introduce the eggs, low-fat milk, water, canola oil, coconut extract (if you’re feeling adventurous), vanilla extract, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon to the dry ingredients.
Step 4
Stir until the batter is smooth and inviting.
Step 5
Pour this delightful mixture into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to create a beautiful loaf.
Step 6
Place it in the preheated oven and let it bake for about an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your creation is ready.
Step 7
Once baked to perfection, allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then gently invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Enjoy the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen as you anticipate the first slice of your homemade coconut bread.
