Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded coconut
Lime Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the coconut milk, lime juice, and lime zest.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Fold in the shredded coconut.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
