Here is a nice, flavourful loaf cake to enjoy. It is very moist and the coconut adds nice flavour to the loaf cake and raspberry filling! I LOVE coconut so this was a nice addition to an already delicious loaf cake!

These are the ingredients I used to make it.
I began by adding the butter, sugar and vanilla to the bowl of my stand mixer and creaming it together.
Next I added the eggs and mixed until smooth.
The coconut goes in next, mix to combine.
And finally the flour, baking powder and milk, then mixing it well to combine all ingredients.
I poured almost half into my parchment paper lined loaf pan.
Spread 3/4 cup of the raspberry jam evenly over the batter.
And then the remaining batter.
I baked it at 350 degrees for an hour, covering it with tin foil during the last 15 minutes until it was nicely browned and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
I let it fully cool an then made a glaze.
I combined the icing sugar and milk and whisked until smooth.
I added 1 tbsp. of the raspberry jam…
And whisked to combine. Isn’t it a pretty colour?
I spread the glaze evenly over the cooled loaf cake.
Add then sprinkled it with the second amount of coconut for a pretty little loaf cake!
And then I sliced it and served it for dessert.

I know I’ve said this to you before but it bares repeating. Your recipes look so delicious but also so easy to make with ingredients I actually have. I see so many delicious recipes and they’re wonderful but I usually just like looking at them because I know I’ll never make them. I hate to cook so that’s no surprise and I hate even more having to hunt down ingredients I never use or will never use again. Your recipes make it into my recipe list with the chance of being made. 🙂

Thank you for sharing that and I’m glad to hear our recipes work for you. I like the day to day cooking almost as much as baking and it’s always fun to introduce variations of this same kind of cooking to our meals and then share with everyone through our blog! Maybe you will start to enjoy cooking some day Lol, my husband always tells me that home cooking is the best because it’s made with love….he even says it when he’s not in trouble!!

Unfortunately coconut is one of the few foods that I don’t care for, and I never know until I taste something with coconut if I’ll like it or not…sometimes it’s the texture that bothers me, and sometimes the taste. I do like some things but because I don’t know until I try it, I just avoid it whenever possible, lol.

Makes sense. I’m like that with onions. I don’t like them raw in my salad or anything but I can eat them cooked in most recipes.

Baking for family and friends really is a joy…. and even better if it is an easy recipe. Although every once in a while I like to dig my feet in and try something different and more involved to test my skills lol!

I’m the same way. I find I enjoy cooking if I have all of the ingredients on hand when the mood strikes.

Yes, there is nothing worse than wanting to make something but not having all the ingredients!
