2 grams salt
04 -
113 grams unsalted butter, softened
05 -
200 grams granulated sugar

10 -
60 grams powdered sugar
11 -
30 millilitres pineapple juice
# How to Prepare:
01 -
Set the oven to 175°C. Grease and flour a standard loaf pan to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly distributed.
03 -
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat softened butter with granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
04 -
Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
05 -
Add dry ingredients and sour cream to the batter in three additions, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently after each addition until just combined.
06 -
Fold the well-drained crushed pineapple into the batter using a spatula, ensuring even distribution without overmixing.
07 -
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
08 -
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Whisk powdered sugar with pineapple juice to create a smooth glaze, then drizzle over the cooled loaf.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Ensure the pineapple is thoroughly drained to prevent excess moisture affecting the loaf's texture.
