Nutty Coconut Bread

This recipe is from Linda Linford.


This is our family’s absolutely favorite treat at Christmas.


Nutty Coconut Bread
Beat:  4 eggs

Stir in:  2 tsp coconut flavoring

Combine:  2 cup sugar 1 cup oil

Add 1/2 tsp soda, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt

Add alternately:  3 cups flour
                          1 cups buttermilk, add 1 cup coconut, 1 cup chopped nuts


Bake in 2 greased and floured pans at 325° for 75 minutes.


I usually use small loaves and bake for 35 min.


Syrup:  1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 2 Tbsp butter, 2 tsp coconut flavoring

Boil for 3 minutes.  Pour over cake and leave in pans 4 hours.

This year I used Jules All Purpose Flour so I actually got to eat some.  It was just as good as the batch made with the regular flour according to my husband.


Thanks Linda!
