    We’ve been making this easy Coconut Loaf recipe for years and it’s still one of our favourites!

    Easy Coconut Loaf Recipe

    During the last school holidays my lovely Mum came up to visit us for 10 days, in part to help celebrate baby boy’s first birthday but also to spend the second week of the school holidays with our two older boys.  We had so many fun things planned (plus A LOT of baking) however just a few days after the birthday celebrations, our four year old came down with a nasty case of gastro (which required a hospital stay) and the rest of the kids plus my husband quickly followed. Thankfully Mum and I stayed well (albeit run off our feet) and each night once everyone was in bed we would treat ourselves to something yummy to eat.  This easy Coconut Loaf was one of our favourites and between us we managed to polish the entire loaf off in just a few days!

    Thankfully because this recipe only needs half a tin of coconut milk, we had the perfect excuse to make another loaf to help us get through what was a loooooong week.

    Given neither of us had much self control, I popped half of the loaf into the freezer and have just taken it out last week for an after school treat for the kids.  Both of the older boys love it and have put in a request for me to make it again.

    Ingredients
      

    • 175 g unsalted butter - soft
    • 1 & ¼ cups 280g caster sugar
    • 200 ml coconut milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    • ½ cup 40gdesiccated coconut

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line the base and sides of a loaf tin with baking paper – this will help you to remove the Coconut Bread once it has cooked.
    • Place the caster sugar and butter into the bowl of an electric mixer and beat for 3 - 4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
    • While the mixer is on a low speed, add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time and mix well to combine.
    • Add the coconut milk, self raising flour and desiccated coconut and mix on a medium speed until just combined.
    • Transfer the mixture to the loaf tin you prepared earlier and bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.

    Notes

    You can also add blueberries, raspberries or strawberries to this recipe, simply stir through before pouring the mixture into the tin.

      Hi Lauren, I’ve made this loaf twice this week (because the tin of coconut milk is enough for two loaves) and mum and I agree this loaf is amazing! It’s not too sweet, so moist and so easy to make. Cake heaven. I used light coconut milk, wondering how much more heavenly the loaf would be with regular coconut milk. Will have to try for research purposes 😉 Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Btw: I did not declare I wanted to marry my coconut loaf upon first tasting! Lol

        Oh thanks so much for the feedback Jessica, I really appreciate it! Haha, I think trying it with regular coconut milk for research purpose of course is a wonderful idea!

      Do you think coconut oil would work in place of butter? I have an oversupply. Thanks for the great recipes. Glad everyone is well again.

        Hi Cherie, I haven’t tried this recipe with Coconut Oil, It may work but I can’t guarantee it. Sorry I can’t be of more help x
