Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Coconut Loaf Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or baking spray.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition to create a creamy mixture.
- Stir in vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the coconut milk.
- Fold in the shredded coconut gently using a spatula.
- Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Whisk powdered sugar, additional coconut milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth for the glaze.
- Once cooled, drizzle glaze over the cake and sprinkle with additional coconut before slicing and serving.

Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing. Avoid overmixing to prevent a dense loaf. Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.
