Coconut-and-buttermilk loaf

Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Ingredients

250 g butter, softened
440 g caster sugar
5 free-range eggs
140 g cake flour
80 g desiccated coconut, plus extra for serving
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1 cup buttermilk

Cooking Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition. If the mixture splits, add 1 T flour to emulsify it.

Add the fl our and dessicated coconut and mix, then add the baking powder and salt. Lastly, add the buttermilk. Mix well.

Pour the batter into a 23 x 13 x 7 cm greased and lined loaf tin and bake for 55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Serve warm, topped with extra desiccated coconut.

Chefs note: This easy, airy cake is so delicious you’re going to devour it while it’s still warm. And we're fine with that!
