I baked it for an hour, toothpick tested OK. When I cut in half to store, the center was raw!

This recipe produces a moist, rich, and undeniably delicious loaf. I had to use vanilla extract as I didn't have coconut, but other than that I followed the recipe to a T. I added a few chocolate chips, which just added to the decadence. Thanks so much for this absolutely delicious recipe--it will be made again and again here!

Great recipe...I also used almond extract, but will go with the coconut next time to have more coconut flavour.
