Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Trinidad Coconut Sweet Bread
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, shredded coconut, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together coconut milk, melted butter, water, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix gently until combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan, smoothing the top.
  6. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
