Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 whole eggs, large
• 0.5 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.75 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and lightly dust it with flour or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Whisk until blended and smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the coconut milk, vanilla extract, and dark rum.

Step 5

Gradually fold the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.

Step 6

Gently fold in the crushed pineapple and shredded sweetened coconut, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Before serving, dust the top of the loaf with powdered sugar, if desired.
