Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9x5 inch loaf pan by greasing it.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the mashed bananas and crushed pineapple.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then gently fold into the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top before baking for 60 minutes.
  7. Check for doneness with a toothpick and bake an additional 5-10 minutes if necessary.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
