For all those who have tasted Coconut Cake, nothing beats that delicious coconut frosting covered by coconut shavings, yum! Sometimes though, I want the Coconut Cake without all that sugar, so I decided to make a Coconut Loaf Cake without frosting. I used a fresh coconut that my sis had bought and it turned out to be quite delicious. It still hit the spot! Here’s the recipe:

Fresh coconut!

Ingredients:

–          – 1/3  cup Sugar

-         - 1/3  cup Un-salted Butter or Margarine (*if using butter; add pinch of salt)

–         – 1 Egg

–          – 1/8 cup Fresh Coconut shavings

–          – 1/4 cup home-made Coconut milk (*Recipe below)

–          – 1 cup Self-Rising Flour

–          – ½ teaspoon Baking powder

Grease & flour your loaf pan

Creamed coconut mixture

4.       Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

5.       Remove cake from oven and let stand for 10 minutes on a cooling rack. Remove from pan and allow to cool completely. 

Delicious and so moist ^_^

*Home-made Coconut Milk:

Ingredients:

–          ½ cup Fresh Coconut shavings

–          ¾ cup Milk

Directions:

1.       Pour milk into a pan and the coconut shavings into the milk. Place pan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Remove pan from heat and sieve the milk into a liquid measuring cup. Set the shavings aside.

2.       Let the milk cool completely and then use accordingly.

P/S: If you don’t have a coconut, you can use store-bought coconut milk or coconut powder to make the milk.

*You can double or triple this recipe if you would like a bigger cake.
