This is a simple, sweet loaf recipe packed with fruit.

1/3 cup (15g) flaked coconut
1 1/2 cup (105g) shredded coconut, toasted
2 cups (300g) self-raising flour
1/2 cup (55g) coconut flour
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1 cup (280g) unsweetened coconut yoghurt
1/2 cup (175g) honey
1/4 cup (60ml) coconut milk
1/4 cup (60ml) vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beate
1/4 preserved lemon (or 2 wedges if cut into wedges), pith removed and finely chopped
1 tsp vanilla bean paste
250g fresh blackberries (or frozen blackberries – don’t thaw )
Store-bought lemon curd, to serve

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a 20cm x 10cm x 8cm deep loaf pan and line with baking paper, leaving 2cm overhanging on each side.
2.

Place the flaked coconut and 2 tsp boiling water in a small bowl and toss to coat. Set aside to soak for 10 minutes (this will keep the coconut from browning too fast in the oven), then drain and set aside.
3.

Place the shredded toasted coconut, flour, coconut flour and bicarb soda in a large bowl.
4.

Place the yoghurt, honey, coconut milk, oil, eggs, preserved lemon and vanilla together and whisk to combine.
5.

Add to the flour mixture and fold until just combined. Fold through the blackberries and sprinkle with soaked flaked coconut. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean (cover with foil if the loaf is browning too quickly).
6.

Cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely. Top slices with store-bought lemon curd or extra coconut yoghurt to serve.
