Coconut Turmeric Bread – Golden Lemon Coconut Loaf

Easy 1 Bowl Coconut Turmeric Bread. Soft and Delicious One Bowl Golden Lemon Coconut loaf with black pepper and turmeric. No added oil in this cake. Vegan Nutfree Soyfree Oilfree Recipe.   Jump to Recipe    

A Golden gorgeous loaf today. This is a super easy bread/cake that needs 1 Bowl and a blender, no Oil and bakes into a beautiful, soft, moist,  spiced loaf. Whisk the dry ingredients in a bowl. Blend the wet in a blender, combine both into a batter and bake. Done. I sprinkle some coconut on the batter for a simple loaf. Add a lemon icing to the loaf for a dessert cake or for presentation. The cake uses maple syrup for sweetener which adds the perfect amount of sweetness. Coconut flakes get blended into the batter to add the fat needed for the moist cake. 

I mentioned this loaf the other day on my Insta stories. The batter of the cake did not have lemon and was a Turmeric coconut batter. I usually bake some portion of the batter before baking the entire loaf when recipe testing, so that I can adjust the batter if needed with flavor, sugar, flour. This yellow batter was turning pink during baking for some reason. (its a cool idea to use that for pink lemonade cake if I figure out why it is turning pink). It could be some reaction between turmeric and baking powder or coconut or something else. If you know what it is happening, let me know. This did not happen to my lemon chia muffins that also have turmeric in them. So I added some lemon juice to some of the batter and that batter baked out yellow. Hmm. If you don’t want a pink cake, do not skip on the lemon/lime juice!

If you have small shred coconut (anything larger will add a lot of texture to the loaf), you can use that directly without blending and use just 1 bowl. Whisk the dry, add all the wet ingredients, mix to combine, pour into baking pan and bake. I prefer blended coconut as it distributes the fattyness throughout for a soft loaf. To make this gluten-free, use the flour mix from my Glutenfree Christmas cake and add enough to make a thick batter. When in doubt, always bake a few tbsp of the batter in oven or microwave it for 30 seconds to check if the consistency is right.
