Description
This moist and tropical Pineapple Juice Cake is bursting with pineapple flavor and finished with a sweet pineapple glaze — perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
For the Cake:
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
¾ cup pineapple juice (from canned or fresh)
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Pineapple Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup pineapple juice
1 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, pineapple juice, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth.
Bake the Cake:
Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and cool completely.
Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and melted butter until smooth.
Glaze the Cake:
While the cake is still slightly warm, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it drip down the sides.
Serve:
Slice and enjoy with coffee, tea, or as a stand-alone treat!
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh pineapple juice if available.
Grease your Bundt pan well to ensure the cake releases cleanly.
Glazing while slightly warm allows the glaze to soak in perfectly.
A cake tester or toothpick should come out clean when the cake is fully baked.
