Orange Pineapple Bread

This bread is rich and full of tropical flavor. The glaze is absorbed into the bread and seals the deal on a quick bread that is so moist, it could almost be confused for a pound cake!

Ingredients
  

Pineapple Orange Bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
Orange Glaze
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated white sugar

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare one 9"x5"x3" loaf pan, or two mini-loaf pans with cooking spray.
  2. Cream the softened butter and sugar. Whisk the eggs in a medium bowl, then add to the butter and suger, stir until smooth. Then add the pineapple, orange juice and vanilla and combine thoroughly.
  3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into another bowl, and then combine with the liquid ingredients. Optional: add 1/2 cup of nuts at this time.
  4. Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes for the mini-loaves, and 1 hour for the regular loaf pan.
  5. Once the loaves are removed from the oven, dissolve sugar in the orange juice in a saucepan over low heat just until it begins to simmer.
  6. Spoon over the hot loaf and let sit for at least 10 minutes before removing to cool on a rack.
