Ingredients

Scale
  • Bread:
  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs (room temp)
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat)
  • 20 oz can crushed pineapple (drained well, reserve juice)
  • 1½ cups sweetened shredded coconut (toasted, divided)
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  •  
  • Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp reserved pineapple juice
  • ¼ cup toasted coconut

Instructions

  • 1. Preheat oven 325°F. Grease 9×5″ loaf pan + line bottom parchment.
  • 2. Toast coconut: spread on baking sheet, bake 325°F 8-10 mins until golden. Stir halfway. Cool.
  • 3. Cream butter + sugar 2 mins until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time.
  • 4. Mix in sour cream + drained pineapple.
  • 5. Whisk flour, baking soda, salt. Add to wet ingredients until just combined.
  • 6. Fold in 1 cup toasted coconut. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle remaining coconut on top.
  • 7. Bake 65-75 mins until toothpick clean. Cover with foil after 40 mins to prevent over-browning.
  • 8. Cool pan 15 mins. Remove to wire rack.
  • 9. Whisk powdered sugar + pineapple juice until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread. Sprinkle toasted coconut.
  • 10. Slice thick. Store airtight 3 days or freeze 3 months.

Notes

  • Drain pineapple VERY well – paper towels if needed. Wet batter = sunken loaf.
  • Toast coconut = flavor explosion. Watch carefully – burns fast!
  • Sour cream = ultra moist crumb. Greek yogurt works too.
  • Foil tent prevents coconut burning while center bakes.
  • Room temp ingredients = perfect batter emulsion.
  • Freezes beautifully – slice first for grab-and-go portions.
  • Glaze sets in 15 mins. Double for dripping decadence.
  • Mini loaves: 9×5 pans bake 40-45 mins.
  • Breakfast, snack, dessert winner. Tropical vibes guaranteed.
