Ingredients
  

For the loaf

  • 1 stick butter (softened) Ensure the butter is softened properly for smooth batter.
  • 1 cup sugar You can adjust the sweetness by adding less sugar.
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract Can be substituted with vanilla extract if desired.
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 20-ounce can crushed pineapple (drained, save 1/4 cup of the juice) Drain the pineapple to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1 cup shredded or flaked coconut For extra coconut flavor, use toasted coconut on top as a garnish.

For the glaze

  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons pineapple juice Use the reserved juice from the canned pineapple.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture along with the milk and the drained pineapple.
  • Gently fold in the shredded coconut.

Baking

  • Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 60 to 65 minutes, or until the center tests done.
  • Once baked, let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing it.

Glazing

  • Mix the powdered sugar with the reserved pineapple juice.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled loaf.

Notes

Pineapple Coconut Loaf is delicious on its own, but can also be served with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store tightly in plastic wrap or an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. It can be frozen for up to 3 months.
