What ingredients do you need to make this coconut loaf cake?
To make this coconut loaf cake, you need to coconut in many forms : canned coconut milk, grated coconut, coconut oil. You will also need the other ingredients needed to make the cake: flour, baking powder, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt.
For the frosting, only 2 ingredients : coconut cream (90% coconut) and agave syrup. For the decoration, I only used coconut chips.
How to prepare this coconut loaf cake recipe?
We start by making the coconut cake. It's very fast ! Mix the liquid ingredients on one side, and the dry ingredients on the other. Then add them to the wet mixture, finishing with the grated coconut.
I advise you to do not mix too much, so that the dough rises correctly. Then we pour the dough into the greased mold and put it in the oven. You have to let it cool if you want to add icing.
To make the icing it's very simple: mix the coconut cream and the agave syrup and it's ready! The coconut cream has a very creamy texture, perfect for this kind of decor.
I decided to add coconut chips too: for roast them they are heated in a pan for a few moments. It is necessary to let them cool well before sprinkling them on the icing.

Thanks Muriel! :)
Yum, that looks delicious! I think it will be my recipe for next weekend's snack!
To fill up on exotic flavors :))
Hello, I tried to do it but it was impossible because my icing was too liquid, but it took what you indicated.
Hello Emilie, to succeed with an icing made only with coconut cream (90%) you absolutely do not need the liquid in the carton, only the cream. And beat for a long time... As you can see in my photo, the icing remains creamy, it is not an icing to pipe with a piping bag. It is spread with a spoon on top of the cake. See you soon :)
