Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup salted butter at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ cup pineapple syrup from the can
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup canned crushed pineapple drained

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple syrup from the can
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Combine the butter and sugar until fluffy and mix in the eggs, one at a time.
  • Mix in the pineapple syrup.
  • Combine the flour with the salt and baking powder in a bowl.
  • Stir half of the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
  • Add the rest of the flour mixture gradually.
  • Now add the milk and stir again, and then fold in the pineapple.
  • Pour the batter into a greased loaf tin.
  • Bake for 50 minutes on the center rack in the oven.
  • Check to see if a toothpick comes out clean and, if not, give it another 5 minutes and try again.
  • Let the loaf sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out on a cooling rack to finish cooling.
  • Whisk the glaze ingredients to combine and pour over the loaf.
  • If you prefer a thick glaze, let the bread cool before pouring the glaze over it.
  • If you prefer it thinner, pour it over while the bread is still warm so more seeps through.
