ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 1 cup coconut milk or 1 cup milk
• 1⁄3 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup flaked coconut, toasted
• 3⁄4 cup lime marmalade, melted
• 1 tablespoon lime marmalade, melted
• 1⁄4 cup flaked coconut, toasted

directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan; set aside.
2. In a large bowl stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl beat egg with a fork; stir in coconut milk and melted butter. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold in 1 cup of toasted flaked coconut.
3. Spoon one-third of the batter into prepared pan. Spoon half of the 3/4 cup marmalade over batter. Repeat with remaining batter and marmalade, ending with batter. Using a thin metal spatula or table knife, swirl the marmalade through the bread.
4. Bake 55 to 60 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack. Wrap with plastic wrap; store at room temperature overnight before slicing.
5. Before slicing, brush top of loaf with 1 tablespoons melted marmalade. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup toasted coconut.
