Pineapple Bread
Description
This loaf blends white and brown sugars with softened butter and eggs, then incorporates flour and baking powder to create a balanced batter. Pineapple syrup and crushed pineapple add moisture and sweetness, while lime zest and juice provide citrus brightness. The bread is baked in a lined and greased pan, ensuring easy removal and even cooking. Baking times range from 45 to 55 minutes, with a foil tent applied if the top browns too quickly.
After baking, the bread cools briefly before removal from the pan to maintain shape. A glaze of powdered sugar, lime juice, and pineapple syrup is prepared separately and drizzled over the bread to finish, enhancing its tropical notes. This bread suits breakfast or snack times paired with tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar white
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 2 egg
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 cup pineapple syrup from the canned pineapple
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 cup pineapple drained - do not discard the syrup, crushed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons pineapple syrup or as needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease an 8-inch x 4-inch loaf pan, also, line it with parchment paper so it hangs on the sides, for easy bread removal.
- In a large bowl, whisk together both sugars and butter until light and fluffy.
- Next, add the egg one at a time.
- In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt together.
- Then add half of the flour mixture along with the pineapple syrup to the egg mixture. Gently stir to combine, then add the remaining flour along with the heavy cream and stir until combined.
- Fold in the crushed pineapple, vanilla, lime zest, and juice. DO NOT over mix the batter!
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 45-55 minutes or until when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent with aluminum foil.
- Once baked, place the pan onto a wire rack and let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the loaf and place it onto a wire rack to cool.
Glaze:
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Spread it evenly over the cooled bread. Garnish with sprinkles if desired.
