Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 8 ounces Crushed pineapple (canned, with juice)
• 0.5 cups Vegetable oil
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Sweetened shredded coconut (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the crushed pineapple (including juice), vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently fold them together using a spatula or wooden spoon. Avoid overmixing; stir just until combined.

Step 5

If you're using shredded coconut, fold it into the batter for added sweetness and texture.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve at room temperature and enjoy this incredibly moist pineapple loaf plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
