Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple (with juice, not drained)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or regular milk
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • Pineapple Glaze (optional): 1 cup powdered sugar, 1–2 tbsp pineapple juice, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment and lightly grease it.
  2. Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.

  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix just until combined. Fold in shredded coconut.
  6. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. If using, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup coconut for topping.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once slightly cooled, drizzle with pineapple glaze and garnish with toasted coconut if desired.

Notes

  • Use almond or regular milk in place of coconut milk if needed.
  • Stir in chopped nuts or white chocolate chips for added richness.
  • Add lime zest to the glaze for a citrusy twist.
  • Toast coconut at 325°F for 5–7 minutes for golden topping.
