Pineapple Blueberry Cake

We love a great bread. I just can’t help it! This recipe came about because I made a pineapple cookie and it only used half the can of pineapples. I thought I bet I can put this into a bread and make it just divine. That is what we did. This is our pineapple blueberry cake. We have always loved the sweetness of a blueberry and the tart taste of a pineapple. The combination of the two in a bread is divine. I usually make muffins like this but my kids really enjoy a bread. You can see my amazing basic muffin recipe that is a fan favorite in our home.

These are the ingredients for the Pineapple Blueberry Cake

Ingredients:

This will make two loaves

1¾ cup flour
¾ cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tsp of salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk (we use rice milk)
¼ cup melted butter
1 cup of crushed pineapples (with the juice is fine)
4 oz plain Greek yogurt (regular should work too)
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Lemon Glaze:

1/4 stick of butter

1TBS of milk

2 cups of powdered sugar

4 Tsp of lemon extract

Blueberry pineapple Bread

You will combine all of the dry ingredients in one bowl. Then you will combine all the wet ingredients in another.

I leave the blueberries out until I have combined the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients. Then you add the blueberries. I always butter the loaf pan or spray them with cooking spray. The loaves will cook at 350 degrees for 45- 55 minutes or until they are golden brown.

I let them cool and then I turn them oven to cool on the wire rack for the remaining time. I usually make the icing and apply it to half of the loaf and the other half I leave it off. The is a great bread to grab on the run or a cake if you add the icing.

Then to make the icing

Lemon Glaze:

1/4 stick of butter

1TBS of milk

2 cups of powdered sugar

4 Tsp of lemon extract

You will make the icing by melting the butter and adding in the wet ingredients. Then add in the sugar and let it set a little. You want to make sure when it pours it doesn’t run.

Enjoy!

I use the lemon icing the I use on my Starbucks Lemon copy cat recipe. This is my favorite lemon pound cake recipe.

We also have a fantastic moist lemon cake.
