1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, stir before measuring

2 teaspoons baking powder

¼ teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

Topping:

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cups chopped pecans or walnuts

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream together the sugar

And butter; add eggs and beat just until blended. Stir in

the un-drained pineapple, vanilla, and 1 cup chopped nuts.

Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir sifted

mixture into pineapple mixture just until blended. Spoon batter

into a well-buttered loaf pan. Combine topping ingredients and

sprinkle over batter. Bake for about 1 hour. To test for doneness,

stick a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean,

the bread is done. Cool thoroughly before cutting. Chilling makes

this bread easier to cut.
