Pour the can of crushed pineapples into a fine mesh sieve over a bowl. Press the pineapples and remove as much moisture as possible. Drain until there's barely any liquid when squeezed. Set aside. Reserve the pineapple juice 8 oz Crushed Pineapples
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper so that there's about 2 inches of overhang on both sides. This makes it easier to remove from the pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, and vegetable oil. Whisk together until smooth, about 1 minute. If brown sugar looks clumpy, be sure to smooth out any lumps. 1 cup Sugar3 tbsp Brown Sugar 4 tbsp Salted Butter1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
Add eggs, one at a time, whisking between each addition to ensure each egg is fully incorporated. Then add sour cream, pineapple juice, pineapple emulsion, vanilla extract, almond extract, and drained crushed pineapple. Whisk to combine, about 1 minute. 3 large Eggs1/2 cup Sour Cream2 tbsp Pineapple Juice2 tsp Pineapple Emulsion1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 1/4 tsp Almond Extract
Add dry ingredients - 2 1/4 cups All Purpose Flour2 tsp Baking Powder1/8 tsp Baking Soda1/4 tsp Nutmeg and 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt . Continue to whisk until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted into the tallest part of the loaf comes out with just a few moist crumbs (it should be mostly clean).
While the bread bakes, make the pineapple syrup. Add 1/2 cup Pineapple Juice and 1/4 cup Sugar to a small saucepan. Cook until it becomes syrupy, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.
Fresh out of the oven, pour the pineapple syrup on top of the loaf and let it sit in the pan for about 20 minutes. Remove and place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, make the pineapple glaze - mix together powdered sugar, melted butter, whole milk, and pineapple emulsion. (for a thicker glaze, add more powdered sugar) Pour on top of the cooled cake and garnish with sweetened coconut flakes.1 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar2 tbsp Salted Butter2 tbsp Whole Milk1/4 tsp Pineapple EmulsionSweetened Coconut Flakes
