Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf tin with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, shredded coconut, lemon zest, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of your electric mixer, mix on high speed the butter for about 30 seconds. Add the sugar and beat for a further 2-3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and fold in until incorporated. Mix in all the yogurt with the lemon juice and fold in. Fold in remaining flour until just incorporated.
  • Pour into prepared pan and bake for 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
