Description

A moist and flavorful loaf that blends the tropical tastes of pineapple and coconut, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 can (17 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare loaf pans.
  2. Toast coconut in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes, tossing occasionally until golden brown.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition; then mix in the sour cream, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour until just combined.
  6. Fold in the crushed pineapple and 1 cup of toasted coconut into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pans and sprinkle the remaining toasted coconut on top.
  8. Bake for 65-70 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil while baking.
