Aloha Bread

Aloha Bread 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium) 1/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon grated orange peel 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup flaked coconut 1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained (keep some of the juice) Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in banana, milk, orange peel and extracts. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture just until moistened. Fold in coconut, nuts and pineapple. Transfer to a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Approx. 50 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire. While cooling, take 1 t orange zest, and 1 cup of powdered sugar. Add just enough of the pineapple juice to make a glaze. Drizzle over the warm bread. Note: I cut the batter in half and made two smaller loafs. It baked quicker.
