For an extra layer of flavor, toast the coconut flakes and nuts before adding them to the batter. Ensure the pineapple is well-drained to prevent the bread from becoming soggy. If you don't have all the extracts, you can adjust the amounts or omit them, but they do enhance the tropical flavor. The topping can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the loaf pan with foil during the last 20 minutes of baking.
