Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon. Add sugar and coconut, and stir to mix.
Make a well in the center, and pour in egg mixture, then stir wet and dry ingredients together until just combined.
Add butter, and stir until just smooth — be careful not to overmix.
Butter and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan, or coat it with a nonstick spray.
Spread batter in pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, anywhere from 1 to 1 ¼ hours.
Cool in pan five minutes, before turning out onto a cooling rack.
Serve in thick slices, toasted, with butter and confectioners’ sugar or salted honey brown butter spread.
