Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 whole eggs, large
- 0.5 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon dark rum
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until blended and smooth.
Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and dark rum.
Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded sweetened coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Before serving, dust the top of the loaf with powdered sugar, if desired.
