→ For the Pineapple Glaze

10 - ½ cup powdered sugar
11 - 2 tablespoons pineapple juice

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan to prevent sticking.

04 - Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream. Start and end with dry ingredients.
06 - Gently fold in drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
09 - In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth.
10 - Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top before slicing and serving.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Use fresh pineapple juice for a more vibrant flavor.
02 - Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
03 - For added texture, sprinkle toasted coconut on top before serving.
