Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple (including its juice), melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense loaf.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out gently with a spatula if needed.
Bake the pineapple loaf in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
