Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather all of your ingredients and equipment.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, melted butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut evenly throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into your greased loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
