Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your loaf pan by greasing and lightly flouring it.
  2. Whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. In a separate large bowl, beat together sugar and eggs until light and frothy. Add softened cream cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the well-drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Dollop in cream cheese mixture creating a swirl effect, then top with remaining batter.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the loaf to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
