Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Coconut Loaf Cake.

1. Step 1

   Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and generously greasing a 4x8-inch loaf pan to ensure your creation slides out effortlessly.

   In a spacious mixing bowl, grab your electric mixer and blend together the white sugar and softened butter until the mixture transforms into a light and fluffy delight.

   Next, infuse your batter with the vibrant zest and juice of a fresh lemon for that zesty kick.

   In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, whisking them together to create a harmonious dry blend.

6. Step 6

   Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the buttery goodness, alternating with milk, and mix until just combined to maintain that perfect texture.

7. Step 7

   Gently fold in the flaked coconut, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the batter, then pour this luscious mixture into your prepared loaf pan.

8. Step 8

   Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let it bake for 60 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your loaf is ready.
