Another Recipe - Tropical Bread

I am on a roll...I have one more recipe to share with you today.  Get ready for your house to smell amazing.

Tropical Bread

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 8oz package Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened

2 cups sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2 eggs

3 bananas, mashed

1 8oz can crushed pineapple, drained

1 cup coconut

1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained and quartered

3 cups AP flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

Prehead over to 350 degrees and grease two bread pans.  Mix together butter and cream cheese, add sugar, vanilla and eggs (one at a time).  In a separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.  Add to wet ingredients a little bit at a time until well incorprated.  Add banana, coconut and pineapple to mix.  Spoon batter into bread pans.  While spooning the batter in add cherries (do not add them in while mixing batter it will turn your batter pink).  Bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Until Next Time,
