Technical
Pan de coco, literally "coconut bread" in Spanish, is a dense, cake-like bread from the Garifuna people of the Caribbean coast located in Honduras. It likely originated from the Caribbean, due to Antillean migration to the Bay Islands region of Honduras and along La Mosquitia between the 18th and 20th centuries.
