Coconut BreadRomulo Yanes

This bread is slightly sweet, like some corn breads, and works well as an accompaniment for the island pork tenderloin salad . It also makes a nice island-style tea bread when served in the afternoon with lime marmalade and hibiscus tea.

Cooks' note:

Bread can be served the day it is made, but it slices more easily if kept, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature 1 day.
