Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and thoroughly coat a loaf pan with cooking spray or butter.

- Brush cake surface generously with prepared pineapple glaze.
- Transfer cake to a wire rack and allow to cool completely before slicing into servings.
Notes
- Check pineapple consistency by draining excess liquid to prevent a soggy cake texture.
- Fold batter gently to maintain air pockets and create a light, tender crumb.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute vegetable oil with coconut oil for extra tropical flavor.
- Room temperature eggs blend more smoothly and help create a more even cake structure.
