Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- ¾ cup canned light coconut milk
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon coconut extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups all purpose flour (188 grams)
- ¾ cup sweetened, shredded coconut
Cream Cheese Glaze
- ¼ cup cream cheese (2 oz) room temperature
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8x4" loaf pan (a 9" will work fine, you will just have a lower loaf and need to reduce the bake time by about 10 minutes)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, coconut milk, yogurt, oil, eggs, coconut and vanilla extracts.
- Add the baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk until combined.
- Add the flour and coconut and stir just until moistened.
- Pour into prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Cover with tin foil for the last 15 minutes of bake time if you want to prevent additional browning.
- Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cream Cheese Glaze
- Beat cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
- Add powdered sugar and milk and beat until smooth, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add additional sugar if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Drizzle over cooled loaf, slice and serve.
