Ingredients

3/4 cup sugar1/4 cup canola oil2 large eggs1/4 cup lime juice1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/4 teaspoon coconut extract1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour2/3 cup cornmeal1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/4 teaspoon salt1 cup sweetened shredded coconut1 teaspoon grated lime zest

Preparation

In a small bowl, beat sugar and oil until blended. Beat in the eggs, lime juice and extracts. Combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt; gradually add to sugar mixture and mix well (dough will be sticky). Stir in coconut and lime zest.

Divide dough in half. With lightly floured hands, shape each half into a 12x2-in. rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until set.

Place pan on a wire rack. When cool enough to handle, transfer loaves to a cutting board; cut diagonally with a serrated knife into 3/4-in. slices. Place cut side down on ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.
