Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 3 oz. cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg, beaten

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple, drained (reserve 2–3 tablespoons of juice for the glaze)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bread pan to prevent sticking.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients
    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. Combine Wet Ingredients
    In a separate large bowl, beat together the egg, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  4. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients
    Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Then, fold in the sour cream and the crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.

  5. Bake the Bread
    Pour the batter into the prepared bread pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

  6. Prepare the Glaze
    In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with the reserved pineapple juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bread before slicing and serving.
