Barbados @ 50 - Sweet Bread

A proper Bajan (Coconut) Sweet Bread is something that everyone should experience. Peppered with raisins that pop and delight with each bite, this quick bread is perfect at any time of the day or night. The next time you have it, try it with slices of sharp cheddar cheese and you would be wondering how you existed all your life without this treat. It is that good!

All coconut breads in Barbados are not created equal - some are made with the freshly grated coconut mixed in with the other ingredients while there is a another type with the sweetened, spiced coconut in layered only in the middle of the bread. I prefer the former.
