  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup drained crushed pineapple (reserve juice)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Pineapple Glaze

  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 3-4 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8 x 4.5 or 9 x 5-inch loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined to ensure your bread will rise perfectly.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, and eggs until smooth. Stir in the drained crushed pineapple, sour cream, reserved pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Mix Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid a dense texture.
  5. Pour and Bake: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the bread is fully cooked.
  6. Cool the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes to set, then transfer it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Prepare Pineapple Glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, reserved pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and free of lumps to create a luscious glaze.
  8. Glaze the Bread: Pour the glaze evenly over the cooled loaf. Let the glaze set at room temperature before slicing to ensure a perfect finish.

Notes

  • Use fresh or canned crushed pineapple for convenience; be sure to reserve the juice for the glaze and batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread light and fluffy.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • The glaze sweetness can be adjusted by adding more or less powdered sugar to suit your taste.
  • If you prefer a more tropical flavor, add a teaspoon of shredded coconut or chopped macadamia nuts.
