Ingredients
  

Pineapple Bread Components
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour 375g
  • 2 cups granulated sugar 400g
  • 1 tsp baking powder 5g
  • 1 tsp baking soda 5g
  • 1/2 tsp salt 3g
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup vegetable oil 240ml
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract 15ml
  • 20 oz crushed pineapple 565g can, undrained
  • 1 cup powdered sugar 120g
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice 30ml

Equipment

  • 1 9x5 Inch Loaf Pan Greased and floured
  • 2 Mixing bowls

Method
 

Preparation and Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Whisk eggs, oil, and granulated sugar until pale. Stir in the undrained crushed pineapple and vanilla.
  3. Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until just combined; do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into pan and bake for 60-70 minutes until the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  5. Whisk powdered sugar and pineapple juice; drizzle over the slightly warm bread so it pools in the crevices.

Notes

Do not drain the pineapple; the juice is required for moisture.
Avoid overmixing to keep the crumb soft and tender.
