Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1 cup Crushed pineapple, drained
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

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 medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Whisk until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Fold in the Greek yogurt (or sour cream) until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the crushed pineapple and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the cake 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 11

Serve as is, or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
