Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups butter
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 20 ounces crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 5 cups bread (cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition, until fully incorporated.
Stir in the crushed pineapple with its juice and the vanilla extract, blending well.
Fold in the bread cubes gradually, ensuring they are fully coated with the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top (if desired) for an added touch of flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
