I have an easy peasy one - have made it many times, especially good when the cupboard it looking bare as it doesn't need butter or eggs.
In a bowl mix together 1.5 cups flour, 1.5 tsp bp, 1.5 cups coconut, 1 cup sugar, 1.5 cups milk, 1 tsp vanilla essence.I often add a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder for a change.Bake at 160-170 deg C for an hour or so.

I've used that recipe too Sharrs - excellent for making two or more times the recipe too, for extra loaves. I've sometimes added sultana's or currants too.

Beat eggs until frothy, beat in oil and sugar then add the sour cream and other ingredients. Place half the batter into a large greased loaf tin. Sprinkle over half the cinnamon mixture, add remaining batter then rest of cinnamon mix over top. Swirl through the batter with a knife for a marbled effect. Bake at 180C for 55-60 mins. Stand for 10 mins before turning out.

This one is lovely.I did try making it with dark chocolate chips but I think white chocolate is much better - lovely taste and doesn't ruin the golden colour.
White Chocolate and Coconut Loaf
2 Eggs 200 g Sugar 1 1/2 cups Flour 1/4 cup oil (not olive - I used rice bran) 250 g sour cream (I used light) 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 50 g coconut 150 g white chocolate chips (I chopped up buttons - much cheaper)
1. Heat oven to 180 degC. 2. Prepare a large loaf tin 3. Into a large bowl sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add coconut and chocolate. 4. Beat eggs and sugar until frotht, mix in sour cream and then mix in oil. 5. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. 6. Pour batter into loaf tin and bake for 50 minutes.

My easiest is 1 cup coconut, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk and 1 cup self raising flour. I have added spices, cocoa, sultanas - in fact you can play around with it however you like. Keeps well too, if it gets a chance!
