3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until smooth.

4. Beat the eggs into the butter and sugar mixture until well combined.

5. Gradually incorporate the reserved ¼ cup of pineapple liquid and the sifted dry ingredients into the mixture, alternating between the two.

6. Mix in the milk until smooth.

7. Gently fold in the crushed pineapple.

8. Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
