Ingredients
4 cups unbleached white flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
½ cup sugar or ⅓ cup honey
2 cups unsweetened fresh grated coconut
¾ cups raisins
½ cup melted butter
1 egg, lightly beaten (optional)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon rose water
1 teaspoon almond extract
¾ to 1 cup liquid (milk or unsweetened coconut milk)
Preparation
- Step 1
Sift all the dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Add the butter, egg and honey, if used, and mix thoroughly. Add vanilla extract, rose water and almond extract then add ¾ to 1 cup milk or unsweetened coconut milk (the consistency should be like a biscuit dough, not wet). Knead for 10 minutes.
- Step 2
Divide the dough in half. Place in two greased loaf pans. Brush the tops of the loaves with the remaining liquid and bake in a 350-degree oven for 40 minutes or until a cake tester comes out dry.
