Coconut Bake | Pot Bake | Trinidad | Vegan Option

Coconut bakes, Roast Bakes or Pot bakes, as they are referred to, are nothing short of heavenly. Eating it with a slather of butter or cheese, or breaking off a piece to scoop up smoked herring and tomatoes, saltfish and tomatoes or buljol is quite a gratifying experience.
From my experience coconut bakes are dense yet light, full of coconut flavor--but not as dense and sweet as a 'sweet bread'.

This recipe came out sooo good even better than my mom’s! I’m having some right now as I type this. My granny use to say just put a little bit of this and a little bit of that, I’m not one of those cooks I need measurements for some things lol. I guess that’s why my bake never came out this good. Anyways, thanks for the recipe, God bless!

[@CookingWithRia]

DaughterOfAKing Nikki Only today I was hoping someone would try this recipe and post their feedback to help encourage folks to try this recipe.. and here you are!! God bless you too.. Thanks !!! 💕🌷😀

Thankyou, this looks so delicious. I will use the frozen coconut. Afraid of cutting my hands again.

[@nichellegooding9608]

Riaaaaaaaaa! Omg this recipe is d best! I was sceptical about having "no yeast" but it came out exactly like I wished it would. I tripled it cuz one would not be enough. Also I did not peel of the dark skin of the coconut meat as this is how we traditionally do it in tnt... we grate the whole thing and dump the whole thing in. Ended up using less liquid because of this. Hope it holds up well the day after. Thank u so much for the measurements... perfect coconut bake. Thank you.

[@CookingWithRia]

Nichelle Gooding Thank you. It’s one of my favorite recipes. Using the dark part makes it more rustic and means less work too so I’m all for it! So happy you loved it! Appreciate you leaving your feedback. I💕🌷

So trying this

[@a.r.k.4909]

Hi Ria, nice recipe. I like the coconut bakes that dont have yeast because I prefer the more dense crumb that is similar to a biscuit rather than a fluffy loaf of bread as I've seen in other recipes. To achieve this, would you reccomend adding perhaps a teaspoon or so of baking soda? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

[@nicolekinzonzi1832]

Omgosh, it looks soooooooo good. And sounds healthier than any of the other bake recipes I have been watching. Thank you Lord!

[@veronicabobb-edwards7824]

Do you use a measuring cup for the flour or a regular cup because my bake dough was small and would not hold together seems to richI followed the instructions exactly maybe needs more flour ,I did something wrong.

[@CookingWithRia]

Measuring cup. Sounds like you used too much coconut. Was it fresh grated?

[@naty1012]

If I am grating the coconut do I have to add that in addition to coconut milk?

No yeast in this recipe. Thanks for checking with me. I think you saw brown sugar?

Did you use two different types of sugar? Because I’m very sure it’s yeast I saw at 1:56/ 1:57 minutes . Correct me if I’m wrong... unless your salt is tanned.

[@CookingWithRia]

Natasha Charles don’t give up so quickly/ 🤔Even the best cooks have failed, but it was their persistence that led them to success.

[@natashacharles3454]

@@CookingWithRia okay thanks will try it again. But I followed what you had however the bake never raised plus it came out sure heavy and looked so raw on the inside. Will try again maybe next weekend.

[@CookingWithRia]

Natasha Charles Below is the printed recipe as well. 1. Note it’s tablespoon of baking powder, not teaspoon (make sure you have good/fresh baking powder as well) 2. Measure the coconut exactly because too much will affect the texture and it will break apart after cooking. Also make sure it’s finely grated. Are you using fresh or frozen store bought coconut ? 3. If it’s raw inside, that means it needed more cooking or you didn’t put or measure enough baking powder. 4. You have to take it out of the oven when it’s a nice golden brown and sounds hollow. If it darkens too quickly and still uncooked at the temp stated, your oven may be off. Lower the heat. Let me know if you have any more issues. This recipe has worked for thousands of people over the years and it should work for you. Patience and practice. www.cookingwithria.com/2013/02/trinidad-coconut-bake-pot-bake.html?m=1#!
