Pineapple Quick Bread

from Delicious Discoveries on Facebook

Ingredients: 2 cups flour; 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks (drained, reserving 2 tablespoons juice for the glaze); 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 cup sugar; 3 oz cream cheese (softened); 1 teaspoon baking soda; 1 teaspoon salt; 3 teaspoons vanilla extract; 1 egg (beaten)

For the glaze: 1⅓ cups powdered sugar; 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (reserved from the can)

Directions: Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.

In a large bowl cream together softened cream cheese and sugar.

Mix in the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Add sour cream, ensuring a smooth blend.

In another bowl, sift together flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually combine these dry ingredients with the wet mixture.

Gently fold in the pineapple chunks, setting aside 2 tablespoons for the glaze.

Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, leveling the top.

Bake for approximately 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the bread to sit in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to cool thoroughly.

Combine powdered sugar with the 2 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice until smooth.

Generously drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled bread. Allow a few moments for the glaze to set.
