Pineapple Nut Loaf
March 21st, 2009
I have to decide before end of March if I want to register for a master’s program in “Syrian Virtual University” (It was established on the 2nd of September 2002 and is the first virtual education institution in the region), and I have two choices which are MBA (Master of Business Administration) and MQM (Master of Quality Management), but I prefer MBA.
I have no idea about economics, accounting, statistics and other subjects, so do you think a pharmacist could success in this program?, is it easy to study subjects related to business? I know I’ll learn how to manage my pharmacy, to know about market, and other things related to business, but I need to hear your opinions, maybe you could help me to take the right decision!
Let’s make pineapple nut loaf:
Preheat oven to 350 °F (176 °C), Grease 9 x 5 inches loaf pan.
1. Measure the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda into sifter; set aside. Rinse raisins with boiling water to plump them; drain well; set aside with pecan or walnuts.
2. Measure sugar and butter.
3. Gradually beat sugar thoroughly into butter.
4. Add egg, one a time.
5. Beat in first egg, then add the second one and beat.
6. Add extract, raisins.
7. Add nuts, Sift in about half the flour mixture.
8. Stir, don’t beat, just until moistened and fairly smooth.
9. Add pineapple with liquid.
10. Add rest of flour mixture.
11. Stir.
12. Quickly, but gently, spoon the batter into a greased 9×5 inch loaf pan.
13. Prepare topping.
14. Sprinkle with a topping mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
15. Bake at 350 °F (176 °C) for 60 – 70 minutes, or until done when tested.

Notes and Tips
I used vanilla extract instead of cinnamon and apple flavor extract.
This looks a really moist cake – what a delicious combination of ingredients!
