Coconut and orange flavoured yogurt loaf

This is a rich, moist loaf that combines the tropical notes of the coconut with rich creamy yoghurt and the refreshing taste of the orange.

Its super easy to make and you don't need to be a baker to get this right. If you've never baked before, I assure you, fear not!!!

Baked at gas make 5.. (Always sift your cake flour and pre-heat the oven before commencing any baking). 

INGREDIENTS

*350g self-raising flour (plain can be used, just add in a pinch of salt and 1tsp baking powder to get the consistency)

*125ml low fat or full fat plain yogurt (flavoured yogurts can be used)

*40g coconut shreds

*200g butter

*200g caster sugar or regular granulated sugar

*1tsp Orange extract.. (To make it more zesty, add in 1 whole orange zest)

PREPARATION

1. Cream together butter and sugar 

2. Next add in the eggs and continue whisking (always remember to add them in one at a time).

3. Add the orange extract and coconut shreds

4. Add the yogurt...keep whisking

5. Turn off the mixer, as the flour needs to be incoperated into the mix with a wooden spoon or spatula...add your flour and combine.
