¼ tsp salt
2 cups granulated sugar
8 cups flour (2 lbs)
4 tsps. baking powder
8 oz margarine
3 eggs
1 cup milk
½ tsp vanilla essence
½ tsp almond essence
½ cup raisins
1 ½ cups glace cherries(chopped)

Cream the sugars and butter until fluffy, add the eggs, essences and coconut, coconut water and raisins. In a separate container mix the flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Add these dry ingredients gradually to the wet mixture, stirring well after
each addition. Spoon the mixture into a greased and floured loaf pan and sprinkle with brown sugar, a pinch each ginger

hot loaf with melted butter for a nice finishing touch.

*Coconuts are plentiful in most Caribbean islands and are
used in a variety of dishes. Barbadians especially like
Coconut Bread which is also known locally as Sweet Bread
(not to be confused with American sweet breads).
Coconut Bread is often eaten alone, but is commonly
savored with a nice hot cup of tea.
