Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the crushed pineapple (including juice), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing; stir just until combined.
If you're using shredded coconut, fold it into the batter for added sweetness and texture.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy this incredibly moist pineapple loaf plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
