Undoubtedly this is a recipe that traces the memories of each Venezuelan to his childhood, that time when, on his way to school, the smells that came out of the bakeries made him want to buy all the sweets.
Among these sweets, coconut bread is one of the favorites of Venezuelan children. The shape, its spongy texture and the grated coconut cover that makes the atmosphere aromatic make it ideal to enjoy with a cup of hot coffee or even a glass of cold milk in the afternoon.

3 cups of flour
1 eggs
100 gr. of butter or we can use oil
a pinch of salt
Vanilla
Warm milk

250 gr. dehydrated coconut
½ cup of sugar
