To create the exotic taste of coconut pineapple bread, you will need to spend about 60 to 65 minutes. Trust me, you will not regret having spent an hour of your day as the result would be so rewarding. Being able to take a bite into the fluffy coconut pineapple bread would be the perfect thing to start your day. It is also great to be shared with family or friends during an afternoon tea time. Moreover, as the dish will be using fresh pineapples, then your body will also be able to enjoy the nutrition in the pineapple.
So, let us begin with shopping for these ingredients before going to the kitchen:
1.5 c of coconut, sweetened and shredded
0.5 c of butter, unsalted and stored at a room temperature
1.5 c of flour. For the best result, use the all purpose flour
1 c of sugar, granulated
3 large sized eggs or 4 medium sized ones
1 c of sour cream
2 c of fresh pineapple, cut into chunks
Once all the ingredients written above are complete, it is time to preheat the oven. Make sure that you preheat it until you reach 350 degree Fahrenheit. While the oven is heating, you can spread one cup of shredded coconut onto a baking sheet. Put the baking sheet with coconut into the oven when it is on the right temperature and wait until it is toasted. Toss the coconut occasionally so that you have even results. This process would take about 6 to 10 minutes. After that, set the baking sheet to cool.
Grease the loaf pan and put it aside then mix baking soda, flour and salt by whisking them. Take another bowl and beat sugar and butter until they are reduced to fluffy and light mixture. Next is to put an egg to the mixture. Once you see that everything is blended perfectly, reduce the speed of the mixer to a low speed. Put in the first mixture from another bowl and then mix them until well combined.
Take a rubber spatula and then put in the pineapple and toasted coconut into the batter. Use the spatula to fold the three components before you pour everything to the baking pan. Use the spatula again to smooth the top part. The 0.5 cup of shredded coconut is then used to decorate the top. Once everything is ready, bake it. You will know that it is ready when you can insert a toothpick and find it perfectly clean once you remove it. This should take about 65 minutes.
