Dulce de Leche Fruit Loaf

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180\u00b0C. Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper.

   Tip: Optional: Use a non-stick loaf pan for easy removal.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

   Tip: Make sure to sift the dry ingredients for an even texture.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.

   Tip: Use a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth.

4. 4

   Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.

   Tip: Do not overmix the batter.

5. 5

   Fold in the dulce de leche, pineapple, and strawberries.

   Tip: Use a spatula to gently combine the ingredients.

6. 6

   Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.

   Tip: Make sure the batter is evenly distributed.

7. 7

   Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

   Tip: Check the loaf after 30 minutes and cover the top with foil if it starts to brown too quickly.

8. 8

   While the loaf is baking, prepare the streusel topping by mixing together the streusel topping ingredients in a small bowl.

   Tip: Use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

9. 9

   Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

   Tip: Use a wire rack to cool the loaf completely.

10. 10

    Drizzle the dulce de leche over the top of the loaf and sprinkle with the streusel topping.

    Tip: This will add a crunchy, sweet topping to the loaf.
