½ cup drained crushed pineapple
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1¼ cup caster sugar

Grease the loaf tin (see above) and then dust with flour. Line the base of the tin with baking paper or brown paper which has been cut to size. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Pour into prepared cake tin and bake for 45 minutes in preheated oven. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning onto a wire rack.
