This loaf actually gets better when it is a day old - I always try to make it a day ahead now. And I usually put in lemon essence instead of the vanilla.

Do Not over mix! Just mix and pour into loaf tin. This is the secrete! If I add lemon juice, I don't add van ess. I also add raisins or sultanas. Great for freezing as I always make a double batch and freeze 1.

Heres my two recipes I use:
Coconut Loaf
1 1/2 cups coconut 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup chopped apricots (or other dried fruit) 1 cup milk 1 1/4 cups flour 1 cup sugar
Mix dry ingredients together, add milk and apricots, stir, pour into lined loaf tin for aaprox 40 mins or until done.
Mix dry ingredients, add milk and vanilla, bake in lined loaf tin for 45 mins- 1 hour at 180c
Both are delicous, I will make either depending on what sort of flour I have around

All was not lost with this one, though.texture was great and I gave it away to a sweet tooth this morning :)BTW it was 'done' at 50 minutes rather than the hour in my oven at 180*C.

That good to know elliehen, will keep that in mind when i next do a loaf and check at 50 minutes to see if it's done.

I put half the mixture in the tin and then put blobs of jam on it, then put the rest of the mixture on top. That way gey yummy jam blobs in the middle of the loaf.

DONT DONT DONT soak the coconut in my recipe. It soaks up too much milk and then the mixture is like a bread dough and is hard to handle and doesn't rise as well as it should. I tried it a couple of days ago, not good

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.

This comes from " Simply the Best " by Annabelle White and Kathy Paterson "
Moira's Coconut Cinnamon Loaf
2 large eggs 1/4 c oil (not olive) 1 c sugar 250g sour cream 1 1/2c flour 1 1/2 t baking powder 1 t baking soda 1/4 t salt
Cinnamon Mix
1/2 c coconut 1/4 c brown sugar 2 t cinnamon
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. Leave to stand for 15 minutes before turning out.
