⇒ 1 tsp baking powder

⇒ ¼ tsp baking soda

⇒ ¼ tsp salt

⇒ ¾ cup butter, softened

⇒ ¾ cup brown sugar, packed

⇒ 3 large eggs

⇒ ¾ cup desiccated coconut

⇒ ¼ cup chopped nuts (for topping)

⠀

📝Directions:

⠀

Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small

bowl, toss the dried fruit with 2 tbsp of flour to prevent

them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

⠀

Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 1 ¾ cups

flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

⠀

Cream: In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar

until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time,

followed by the vanilla and coconut extracts.

⠀

Combine: Mix in the yogurt, then gradually add the dry

ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the

desiccated coconut and the floured dried fruit.

⠀

Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf or cake pan and

sprinkle chopped nuts on top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or

until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely

before slicing.
