Mary Ann Dudek suggests a cup of tea when enjoying a slice of this cake-like bread. It does well at bake sales and is a wonderful gift-particularly for coconut lovers, says the Cleveland, Ohio baker. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup 2% milk |
1-1/4 cups flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in coconut.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. x 5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
