Full Recipe  

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice, undrained
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream the Butter and Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then stir in the sour cream (or yogurt) and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Add the Pineapple: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir in the crushed pineapple along with its juice. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and shredded coconut.
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve!

Optional Glaze: You can drizzle the bread with a simple glaze made by mixing 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of pineapple juice.
