Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup flaked coconut
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 2 tsp. coconut extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. baking powder

Glaze:

  • 1 c. sugar
  • ½ c. water
  • 2 TBSP butter
  • 1 tsp. coconut extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Lightly spray 2 loaf pans with cooking spray.
  • Mix all ingredients for the bread well. Bake larger loaf pans at 325 degrees for about an hour.
  • For glaze, boil sugar, water and butter for 4 minutes. Remove from heat and then add the coconut extract. Pour over bread while loaves are still in pans, once they're finished baking and you remove them from the oven.
