Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of all-purpose flour.

Add 1 cup of white granulated sugar to the flour.

Add 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the mixture.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the bowl.

Whisk the dry ingredients together until well incorporated.

In another bowl, add 1 large egg.

Add 1 cup of cold whole milk to the egg.

Add 1/3 cup of coconut oil to the wet ingredients.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture.

Mix the wet ingredients together until combined, being careful not to overmix.

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated, leaving it a little lumpy.

Prepare an 8.5x4.5 inch cast iron loaf pan with a loaf pan liner.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, getting every bit out of the bowl.

Sprinkle a little sugar on top of the batter for shimmer (optional).

Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes.

Perform the toothpick test to check if the bread is done; it should come out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.

Peel off the loaf pan liner and slice into the bread.
