Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the coconut milk, softened butter, coconut extract (if using), and eggs until thoroughly combined.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined.
  • Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Avoid overmixing for a light and airy texture. Store leftover bread wrapped for up to 3 days at room temperature.
