Description

This easy Pineapple Bread is ultra moist and infused with tropical flavor thanks to crushed pineapple and pineapple juice. Topped with a sweet pineapple glaze, itโ€™s perfect as a breakfast loaf, brunch centerpiece, or fruity dessert treat.


Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup half-n-half

  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled

  • 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (reserve syrup)

For the Glaze:

ย 

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tablespoon whole milk

  • 1 tablespoon pineapple juice


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ยฐF. Line a 9ร—5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

  • In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy using a handheld mixer.

  • Beat in eggs, half-n-half, pineapple juice, and vanilla until combined.

  • Add flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until the batter is smooth.

  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan and tap gently to level.

  • Scatter half of the crushed pineapple over the batter, then repeat with remaining batter and pineapple.

  • Bake for 55โ€“60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tent with foil during the last 20 minutes if browning too quickly.

  • Cool in the pan for 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and pineapple juice until smooth.

ย 

  • Drizzle glaze over the cooled bread. Let set, slice, and serve.


Notes

  • For extra pineapple flavor, add ยฝ teaspoon of pineapple extract to the batter.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.

ย 

  • Can also be frozen (without glaze) for up to 2 months.
