A tropical aroma fills the kitchen whenever I bake this irresistible quick bread. The coconut topping adds a touch of visual flair, and mouthwatering flavor to every bite of this tender loaf. —Cindy Steffen, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
Ingredients:
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
2-1/3 cups flaked coconut, divided
1 egg
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
6 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Add 2 cups coconut and mix well. Combine the egg, buttermilk, butter and extracts; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
