Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cups crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
• 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple (with juice), shredded cheddar cheese, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be thick.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the loaf pan into the preheated oven and bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 8

Serve at room temperature as is, or with a light spread of butter for extra indulgence.
