Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).

Lightly whisk eggs, milk and vanilla together. S

ift flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl, add the sugar and the coconut. stir to combine.

Make a well in the center and gradually stir in the egg mixture until just combined.

Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture is smooth, being careful not to over-mix. Pour into a greased and floured 21 x10cm (8 1/2 x 4 in) loaf tin and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, or until bread is cooked when tested with a skewer.

Leave in the tin to cool for 5 minutes, and remove to cool further on a wire rack. Serve in thick slices, toasted, buttered and dusted with icing sugar. I love it with fresh pineapple slices. Enjoy !
