I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. Even people who don't like coconut love this sweet, yummy bread.
INGREDIENTS (for 1 servings):
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 2 teaspoons coconut extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup shredded coconut
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat together sugar and vegetable oil. Beat in eggs and coconut extract. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Stir flour mixture into egg mixture alternately with buttermilk and coconut.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of the loaf comes out clean.
