How to Make Almond Joy Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugar, canola oil, melted butter, vanilla extract, and coconut extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded coconut, chocolate chips, and slivered almonds.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the bread is still warm, poke several holes in the top of each loaf with a fork.
  10. Prepare the coconut glaze: In a small saucepan, combine powdered sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until smooth and glossy.
  11. Drizzle the warm glaze over the holes in the bread, allowing it to soak in.
  12. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
