-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Tbs. unsalted butter -- softened
9 oz. unbleached all-purpose flour -- (2 cups)
plus more for the pan
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 Tbs. baking powder
3/4 tsp. table salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1 1/4 cups shredded sweetened dried coconut
1 cup coconut milk
2 large eggs -- at room temperature
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. pure almond extract
4 oz. unsalted butter -- (1/2 cup) melted and cooled
1/2 cup sliced or chopped almonds
Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to
350F. Butter and then flour the bottom and sides of a 6-cup (8-1/2 x
4-1/2" or 9 x 5") loaf pan, tapping out any excess flour.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Whisk until well blended. Stir in the chocolate chips and coconut.
In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, eggs, vanilla, and almond
extract. Whisk until blended. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry
ingredients. Add the melted butter. Using a silicone spatula, gently
fold until blended.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the almonds evenly over the batter, gently patting them in
so they adhere.
Bake, rotating halfway through, until the top is golden and a wooden
skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 55
minutes. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 30 minutes. Invert the
bread and remove the pan, turn the bread right side up, and let cool
completely. Store, covered, at room temperaturefor up to 2 days.
