I made this today. OMG! To die for! I also iced the two loaves with a cream cheese frosting (making it not too sweet), however the bread/cake is so lovely it doesn’t really need icing. Light, fluffy and very soft thanks to the pineapple. I also used a mix of pecans, walnuts and almonds in the cup of nuts. We will eat one loaf now and freeze the other for lunches. I will also be using this recipe for gift solutions. Love it!!

I tried the recipe for the first time last week and ended up with 3 loaves! Took some to my job and shared and continue to get rave reviews from everyone who tried it! making another batch or 2 today again!

I thought this would be better than what it was. The pineapple was barely detectable. I used walnuts. One loaf I added coconut.
