This bread is sensational. We've been visiting twissis in Iceland and she made this recipe as one of many treats for us to try. I can't wait to get home and make this for myself. I thought the coconut flavour came through beautifully. I'll also use dried cranberries (what we can easily get in Australia) and soak them in the pineapple juice. Thanks so much for sharing this keeper.

Made for the FF&F "Think Pink" event, altho the pink color isn't seen in my pic. A pic of a cut piece will post later today. I used dried cranberries soaked in the pineapple juice & added last to the prepared batter, & I also used a cognac extract. The baking process was a bit tense as it seemed the batter might overflow the baking pan, but it rose to a lovely height & was perfectly done at 50 min. We both loved it, but I felt the coconut flavor & texture were mostly lost & I wonder if using coconut milk instead of buttermilk might give that flavor a boost. Thx for sharing this recipe, Mike. It will definitely be repeated.

wonderful bread that is very different from the usual cranberry bread. I skipped the extract but otherwise made as directed. Thanks for sharing!
