Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | cups | Flour |
| 1 | teaspoon | Salt |
| 1 | cup | Sugar |
| 1 | cup | Evaporated milk |
| ½ | cup | Unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
| 1 | tablespoon | Baking powder |
| 2 | cups | Finely grated fresh coconut |
| 1 | large | Egg, well beaten |
| 1 | teaspoon | Vanilla |
| Sugar | ||
Directions
Sift flour, baking powder and salt. Stir in coconut. Combine egg, milk, vanilla and butter. Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour liquid into the well. Stir lightly but thoroughly and pour into 2 greased 8 or 9 inch loaf pans, filling pans about
⅔ full. Sprinkle the top of the batter with sugar. Bake at 350 F for about 55 minutes or until they test done.
Notes: I have used packaged coconut instead of the fresh but found a little more liquid was needed. Also the flavor was not quite as good but still passable.
Nice toasted for breakfast but watch since it burns easily.
