Ingredients

To create this tropical pineapple loaf cake, you’ll need the following:

For the cake:

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ¼ tsp salt

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ¾ cup granulated sugar

• 2 large eggs

• ½ cup crushed pineapple (drained, but reserve 2 tbsp juice)

• ¼ cup plain yogurt or sour cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the glaze and topping:

• ½ cup powdered sugar

• 2 tbsp reserved pineapple juice

• Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned) for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps for the perfect pineapple loaf:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a standard loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy.

4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.

5. Stir in the crushed pineapple and yogurt (or sour cream) until well combined.

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix just until no flour remains.

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

8. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

9. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

To glaze:
Mix the powdered sugar with the reserved pineapple juice to make a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled loaf and top with pineapple chunks.
