Yield

1 9-inch loaf

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup — brown sugar

  • 3 tablespoons — butter, softened

  • 2 — eggs

  • 2 cups — all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons — baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon — salt

  • ¼ teaspoon — baking soda

  • 1 (8.5 ounce) can — crushed pineapple

  • ¾ cup — chopped pecans

  • ½ cup — raisins

  • 2 tablespoons — white sugar

  • ½ teaspoon — ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch loaf pan.
  • Beat brown sugar and butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, blending the first into the brown sugar mixture before adding the other.
  • Sift flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Stir about half the flour mixture into the brown sugar mixture. Pour pineapple with its juice into the brown sugar mixture and stir; add remaining flour mixture and stir just until a batter forms. Fold pecans and raisins into the batter; pour into prepared loaf pan.
  • Mix white sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over the batter in the loaf pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 60 to 70 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
