Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cups Crushed pineapple (with juice)
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the crushed pineapple (including its juice), melted unsalted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir gently until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can result in a dense loaf.

Step 5

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out gently with a spatula if needed.

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

Slice and serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
