Servings: 10
Equipment
- 9x15 loaf pan
- parchment paper optional
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp almond extract
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup mashed ripe banana, about 1 large
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup well drained crushed pineapple, reserve the juice!
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
glaze
- 1 cup confectioner's sugar
- reserved pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray or lightly butter a standard loaf pan and line it with parchment paper with long overhanging ends (this is optional) so you can lift it out for glazing.
- Cream the butter and the sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer, or do it with electric beaters. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then the extracts.
- Blend in the drained pineapple, the mashed banana, and the coconut.
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, soda, salt, and just mix on low speed until everything is blended.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
- Bake for about 65-70 minutes, until risen, golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out without wet batter clinging to it. Tent with foil toward the end of baking if it seems to be browning too much.
- Cool on a rack before glazing.
- To make the glaze, mix the confectioner's sugar with enough of the reserved pineapple juice to make a spreadable glaze.,
- Spread the glaze over the top of the cooled bread and let set up before slicing.
