By carvalhohm2

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 cups sugar (I used Organic)
• 1 cup oil
• 2 tsp. coconut extract
• 3 cups flour (I used white whole wheat)
• 1/2 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 1/2 tsp. salt (I used a little less than 2 tsp.)
• 1 cup buttermilk (I used 1 cup almond milk with 1 Tbsp. lemon juice)
• 1 cup flaked cocout (I used shredded)
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour two large bread pans (9 1/4 x 5 1/4). In a large mixing bowl beat together the eggs, sugar, oil, and extract. Sift together the flour, soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to creamed mixture. Beat in alternately the buttermilk, coconut, and walnuts. Bake for 1 hour.
