03 -
1/2 cup vegetable oil (115ml) - use neutral flavored like canola or corn oil
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5ml)
→ Dry Ingredients
05 -
1/2 cup white granulated sugar (100g)
06 -
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (107g)
07 -
2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
08 -
1 teaspoon baking soda (5g)
09 -
1 teaspoon baking powder (4g)
10 -
1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
→ Optional Topping
11 -
Confectioners sugar (powdered sugar) for sprinkling
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease your bread pan thoroughly so the loaf releases easily after baking.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, lightly beat the eggs first. Then add your crushed pineapples and vegetable oil, stirring until everything is well combined.
03 -
Sprinkle both white and brown sugars into your wet mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugars are fully incorporated and no lumps remain.
04 -
Gently fold in the remaining ingredients - flour, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Mix with a spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your bread turn out gummy. Avoid using an electric mixer for this step.
05 -
Pour your batter into the prepared bread pan, smoothing the top with your spoon. Bake in the center of your oven at 325°F for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
06 -
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes (keep those oven mitts handy - the pan will be hot!). Then remove from the pan and place on a cooling rack for 1-2 hours until completely cooled. If it sticks, gently slide a silicone spatula between the bread and pan to loosen it. For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle powdered sugar on top before serving.

The bread will keep for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container, or up to a week when refrigerated.
