Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325F.
- Spread the coconut out on a large cookie sheet and bake at 325F for 4-5 minutes until golden brown, stirring at least once during the baking time. Tip: watch the coconut very closely so it doesn't burn. Set the toasted coconut aside to cool.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating the eggs into the batter well between each addition.
- Add half of the flour mixture and half of the sour cream and mix well. Add the remaining flour mixture and sour cream, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Stir in the crushed pineapple (as much of the juice drained off as possible) and 1 cup of the toasted coconut. Pour the batter into a loaf pan that has been greased with non-stick cooking spray. Top with the remaining toasted coconut.
- Bake the bread at 325F for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and milk. Pour the frosting over top of the bread while it is still slightly warm, but not hot. Cool the bread completely to room temperature, then slice and serve.

COCONUT BREAD WITH SWEET PINEAPPLE BUTTER
This is a really yummy bread. In my opinion, this bread is best served warm with the pineapple butter. Yum! You can half the amount of butter, if you don't think you'll be using that much. Recipe courtesy of Tyler Florence. Note: I like to toast the coconut before I begin this recipe so I don't have to wait around for it. Directions for this can be found at the end. **Also, coconut milk sometimes separates in the can, if this happens then just empty out the can into a bowl and whisk it to combine well. :)

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with butter.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder, salt and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla and the lemon zest. Pour in the coconut milk and whisk it all together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold everything together until you have a smooth batter. Gently fold in the shredded coconut until everything is evenly distributed.
- Pour into the prepared loaf pan and put on top of a cookie sheet. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bread. Make sure to rotate the bread a few times while cooking to ensure even cooking and browning.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 20 minutes. When cool enough, release from pan and let completely cool before slicing.
- Toast the slices of coconut bread, dust with confectioners sugar and serve with the pineapple butter!
- Pineapple Butter:.
- Press all of the liquid out of the crushed pineapple. (If there is too much juice, the fruit will separated from the butter.) I like to use a food processor to mix up the pineapple and butter but you can also mash them together in a bowl - just make sure your butter is very soft. Place the butter into a serving bowl.
- *Note: to toast the cocount, Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut on a cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure it's not getting too well done.
Tips:
- Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor in the pineapple butter. If using canned pineapple, be sure to drain it well and pat it dry before using.
- Be sure to measure the flour correctly. Too much flour will make the bread dry and crumbly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the bread.
Conclusion:
Coconut bread with sweet pineapple butter is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. The combination of sweet, fluffy bread and tangy, tropical pineapple butter is sure to please everyone. This bread is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It's also a great gift for friends and family.
