Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed pineapple (well-drained)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
2 teaspoons pineapple juice (from drained pineapple)
2 tablespoons coconut flakes (optional topping)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easier removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, combine eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and crushed pineapple.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top.
6. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice to make the glaze.
8. Drizzle glaze over warm bread and sprinkle with coconut flakes if desired.
9. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Drain the pineapple very well to avoid soggy bread.
Glaze the bread while still warm for best absorption.
Store leftovers wrapped tightly for maximum freshness.
