Tropical Bread Recipe

Bread:
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup mashed bananas
(about 2 medium bananas)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 3/4 cups self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Frosting:
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon milk
Coconut

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together sugar, eggs, and oil in a large bowl. Stir in bananas and coconut. Combine flour and soda. Add to banana mixture. Bake in two greased 8 1/2-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pans for 35 to 40 minutes. To see if bread is done, insert a toothpick in the center of loaf. Toothpick should come out clean. Cool slightly and frost with confectioners’ sugar frosting. Cover bread to keep it from drying.

To make the frosting, sift sugar and mix with milk in a small bowl until smooth. Spread over each loaf and sprinkle coconut on top.
