This week I had the chance to make Coconut Bread. It surely was different and maybe a little dry. The one thing I loved about this bread is that you can really taste the Almond Extract and the Coconut.

Coconut Bread

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup milk
• 3/4 cup flaked coconut
• additional sugar

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Fold in coconut.
2. Four into a greased 9 in x  5 in x 3 in loaf pan. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 350 for 50 – 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.

Yield 1 loaf (16 slices)
