Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 very ripe banana, mashed
8 ounces crushed pineapple (do not drain)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup shredded coconut
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a mixer until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the mashed banana and crushed pineapple.
Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate medium-sized basin.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and stir until just combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut.
Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan and pour the batter into it.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the bread is taken out of the oven, it should cool in the pan for a few minutes before being transferred to a wire rack to finish cooling.
