coconut bread (bill's)

I came across a recipe for bill's (of the granger variety) coconut bread, and felt compelled to try it, even though I'm not really a huge fan of anything coconut.

Verdict: Not bad, rather bready, it's times like these I wish I had a toaster as I think it would toast rather well :)
Score: 7/10

Ingredients
2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups milk 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 1/2 cups flour, more for dusting pan 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1 cup superfine sugar 5 ounces flaked coconut (about 1 1/2 cups) 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Method
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla. 2. In a medium bowl, sift together 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Add sugar and coconut, and stir to mix. Make a well in the center, and pour in egg mixture. Gradually mix with dry ingredients, until just combined. Add melted butter, and stir until smooth. Do not overmix. 3. Oil and flour an 8 1/2-by-4-inch loaf pan. Pour batter into pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool in pan 5 minutes, remove bread from pan, and finish cooling on a rack.
