My New Years plan is to keep things simple in 2026! Life is full and that is a blessing but there are somethings that just don't need to be so complicated.
When I saw this recipe, the first thing I thought was that I have all but one ingredient already in the house! It was meant to be! I hope that you love this as much as I do! Simple and oh so delicious!
You'll need:
2 cups self-rising flour (I prefer White Lilly)
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup softened
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract (could use vanilla extract instead)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup of sweetened flake coconut
3/4 cup white granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 stick butter or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup softened
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut extract (could use vanilla extract instead)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup of sweetened flake coconut
Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda and set aside. Cream sugar, butter and eggs in a mixing bowl.
Pour in flour mixture along with buttermilk and coconut extract and continue mixing until all ingredients are wet. Gently fold in the coconut flakes.
Sprinkle coconut and a little extra white sugar on top of the loaf before it goes in the oven for added texture and it looks great that way. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 45 to 50 minutes until center tests done. Makes 1 loaf.
