Ingredients

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

  • 1 8 ounce can crushed pineapple, drained

  • 1 cup mashed overripe bananas (2 to 3)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • ½ cup shredded or flaked coconut

  • ¼ cup chopped toasted pecans

  • Cream Cheese Drizzle

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of a 9x5-inch loaf pan. In a large bowl stir together the first six ingredients (through allspice). Make a well in the center of the flour mixture.

  2. In a medium bowl combine the next six ingredients (through vanilla). Add pineapple mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Fold in coconut and pecans. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan.

  3. Bake about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely. Drizzle with Cream Cheese Drizzle. If desired, sprinkle with additional coconut and pecans.

Cream Cheese Drizzle:

In a small bowl combine 1 oz. cream cheese, softened, and 1 Tbsp. butter, softened, until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup powdered sugar and enough milk (about 1 Tbsp.) to reach drizzling consistency.
