📜 A Little History
Coconut desserts trace back centuries across tropical regions — from the coconut pound cakes of the Caribbean to the coconut milk sweets of Southeast Asia.

🥣 Ingredients
Dry
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
Wet
¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
½ cup coconut milk (or regular milk)
1 tsp coconut extract
Glaze (recommended)
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp coconut milk
½ tsp coconut extract
Toasted shredded coconut for topping (optional)
🍰 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment or grease it well.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk: flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar
Beat softened butter and sugar 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs
Beat in eggs one at a time until smooth and well incorporated.
5. Add Flavor
Mix in coconut extract.
6. Add Dry + Milk Alternately
Add half the dry mixture → blend. Add coconut milk → blend. Add remaining dry mixture → blend until just combined. Do NOT overmix.
7. Bake
Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
8. Make the Glaze
Whisk powdered sugar, coconut milk, and coconut extract until smooth.
9. Glaze the Cake
Let the cake cool 10 minutes. Drizzle glaze over the top. Add toasted coconut if desired.
🔪 Methods (Detailed Baking Techniques)
Creaming Method
Butter + sugar beaten together creates air pockets → soft, fluffy loaf.
Alternating Method
Adding dry and wet ingredients alternately prevents dense texture.
Glazing Method
Pouring glaze on a warm loaf allows it to sink slightly into the top → extra moisture.
Cooling Method
Cooling in the pan briefly helps the loaf set before slicing.
🧱 Formation (How the Cake Develops)
Butter incorporates air → rise + softness
Eggs emulsify batter → smooth, rich texture
Baking powder activates → lift
Coconut milk adds moisture → tender crumb
Glaze absorbs → glossy, flavorful finish
This is the secret to that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
❤️ For the Lovers (Fun Variations)
For Coconut Lovers
