For the Bread:
⅛ tsp salt
½ cup softened butter
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained (reserve the liquid)
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup pineapple liquid from the can
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp baking powder
For the Glaze:
2 tbsp pineapple liquid from the can
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together 1 ½ cups of flour, ⅛ tsp salt, and 2 tsp baking powder.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat ½ cup softened butter and ¼ cup granulated sugar until smooth. Add 2 large eggs and mix thoroughly.

Bake the Bread: Transfer the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Bread: Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.
Adding the Glaze:
Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp pineapple liquid, 1 cup confectioners sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth.
