Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.67 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup unsweetened coconut milk well shaken
  • 0.33 cup plain yogurt room temperature
  • 0.33 cup coconut oil, melted slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp coconut extract optional but tasty
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut lightly packed
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk for the glaze; add more to thin
  • 0.25 tsp coconut extract for the glaze
  • 0.25 cup toasted shredded coconut for topping

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with a parchment sling.
  • Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.
  • Beat eggs, coconut milk, yogurt, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and coconut extract in another bowl until smooth.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry and stir just until no dry streaks remain. Fold in shredded coconut.
  • Scrape batter into the pan and smooth the top. Bake 50–60 minutes, tenting with foil if browning quickly.
  • Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then lift out and cool completely on a rack.
  • Whisk powdered sugar with coconut milk and a splash of coconut extract until pourable.
  • Drizzle glaze over the cooled loaf. Sprinkle toasted coconut on top and let set 15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Try folding in a teaspoon of lime zest for a bright twist, or swap half the vanilla for almond extract. For neat slices, chill the glazed loaf 20 minutes before cutting. Store airtight at room temperature for 2 days, or freeze sliced pieces for up to 2 months.
