Coco Bread

Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in the softened butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

In a separate bowl, mix the coconut milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; the dough should be slightly lumpy.

Shape the Dough

Transfer the dough to the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

If desired, sprinkle the shredded coconut and additional sugar on top of the dough for added texture and sweetness.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the coco bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Coco bread is delicious on its own or with a spread of butter or jam.
