Time 1h25m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup white sugar
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 lemon, juiced and zested
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
½ cup flaked coconut
¾ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 4x8-inch loaf pan.
  • Beat white sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir juice and zest of one lemon into butter mixture.
  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, mixing until batter is just incorporated. Fold in coconut, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Gradually stir 2 teaspoons lemon juice into confectioners' sugar in a bowl until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. Gently squeeze bag and drizzle mixture evenly over the loaf.

I found this recipe to be a bit dry. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time to see if that helps.

This loaf was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

Loved this recipe! The loaf was moist and flavorful. I added a glaze made with lemon juice and powdered sugar, which gave it an extra touch of sweetness and tanginess.

This loaf was easy to make and turned out delicious! I used a bundt pan and it came out perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This lemon coconut loaf was a delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with a bright citrus note from the lemons and a sweet, tropical flavor from the coconut. The texture was moist and fluffy, and the loaf was beautifully golden brown on top. I
