11 -
2 tbsp juice from pineapple
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a loaf pan with butter and dust with flour.
02 -
Grab a medium bowl and mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Put it aside for now.
03 -
Take a big bowl and beat the butter with sugar until it's puffy and pale, roughly 3-4 minutes with your mixer.
04 -
Drop in eggs one by one, mixing well each time. Then stir the vanilla flavor into the mix.
05 -
Slowly add your flour mix to the butter blend, switching between it and sour cream. Start with flour and end with flour. Don't overmix.
06 -
Carefully fold the pineapple chunks through your batter so they spread out evenly.
07 -
Dump the batter into your pan and smooth the top. Cook for 50-60 minutes until a stick comes out clean when poked in the middle.
08 -
Let it cool 10 minutes in the pan, then move to a wire rack. Mix the sugar and pineapple juice for your glaze. Pour over the cake once it's cool.
# Notes:

Try using coconut cream instead of sour cream if you can't eat dairy
02 -
You can swap in gluten-free flour if you want
03 -
Your cake should look golden outside and feel soft when you cut it
