Ingredients

Lemon Drizzle

  • ¾ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice, or more as needed
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup flaked coconut

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 4×8-inch loaf pan.

Step 2
Beat white sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir juice and zest of one lemon into butter mixture.

Step 3
Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, mixing until batter is just incorporated. Fold in coconut, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 5
Gradually stir 2 teaspoons lemon juice into confectioners' sugar in a bowl until mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Transfer mixture to a resealable plastic bag. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag. Gently squeeze bag and drizzle mixture evenly over the loaf.
