Step-by-Step Instructions for Coconut Loaf Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed for 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
- Mix in the vanilla extract until incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with coconut milk, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the shredded coconut.
- Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with coconut milk and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and sprinkle with shredded coconut before serving.

Notes
Using room temperature ingredients helps ensure an even bake, and avoid overmixing for a light texture.
