Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/4 cup of softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds. Gradually add the flour mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the bread is baking, prepare the coconut topping. In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup of powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons of coconut milk until well combined.
- Once the bread is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the bread has cooled, spread the coconut topping over the top of the bread. Allow the topping to set for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
