Tropical Loaf

The other day when I was doing some baking, I noticed a pineapple cake mix in the cupboard. Not wanting to make a pineapple cake (did not have pineapple rings on hand), I thought I would try to make a ‘loaf’.

I changed  the recipe on the box:  I added:

  • 1 cup sour cream

Instead of water:

  • I added 1 cup of mango nectar.
  • 1 cup of white chocolate/bitter chocolate chips, dried cherries (snipped),
  • 1 cup chopped pecans and a handful of coconut.
  • I grated the zest from 2 limes.

Poured into 2 loaf pans and baked. While warm, I put a lemon glaze over the top and let cool completely.

AHA! It turned out absolutely great. I wrapped both the loaves in parchment paper and then tinfoil. Placed in the freezer until needed.

Bring on the company now, I am ready!
