Chocolate & Coconut Sour Cream Loaf

This is a deliciously moist and full flavoured loaf, ideal to serve with morning coffee. It can be made the day ahead and is popular with all the family. Make two if you are feeding a large group, as this loaf disappears as quickly as it is sliced! You don’t need to butter this loaf, just slice and serve.
