Triple Coconut Loaf Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. 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., Pour into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease a 900g loaf tin and line with baking paper.
• Sift the flour and a pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and rub in the butter with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar, coconut, eggs and milk and mix to a soft dropping consistency.
• Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin and smooth the surface with a palette knife. Bake for 30 mins.
• Remove the cake from the oven and sprinkle with the extra coconut. Return the cake to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 mins, until well risen and golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave the cake to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
