 Ingredients:
For the Bread:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (for texture – optional)
For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons shredded coconut (optional)
- A few more pineapple chunks for garnish
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the can)
- 1 tablespoon milk (adjust for consistency)
 Instructions:
 Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
 Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Set aside.
 Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to beat:
- 1/2 cup softened butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add:
- 2 eggs (one at a time)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
and mix until smooth.
 Step 4: Add Pineapple
Fold in:
- Drained crushed pineapple
- Optional pineapple chunks for a juicy bite
 Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry
Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Do not overmix or the bread will be dense.
 Step 6: Assemble and Bake
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle brown sugar, shredded coconut, and pineapple chunks on top.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
 Step 7: Glaze It Up!
Mix powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and milk until smooth. Drizzle generously over the cooled bread.
 Pro Tips:
- Don’t skip the glaze — it enhances the pineapple flavor and adds extra moisture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; it gets even better the next day!
