Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- ¾ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- 4 large eggs
Glaze
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and generously grease a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
- Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Use a hand mixer on medium speed to beat the ingredients together for approximately 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the smooth batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading and smoothing the top evenly.
- Bake the Cake: Bake in your preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center — it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cake bakes, combine powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring consistently until the mixture is smooth and has thickened slightly into a glaze.
- Glaze the Cake: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top surface with a skewer or fork. Slowly pour the warm glaze evenly over the cake while it remains in the pan, allowing the glaze to soak in.
- Cool and Serve: Let the cake rest for about 15 minutes to fully absorb the glaze. Afterward, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate, and it is ready to be served.
Notes
- Ensure the pineapple juice used is 100% natural for the best flavor.
- Greasing the Bundt pan well prevents the cake from sticking and helps in easy removal.
- Use a fork or skewer to poke holes gently to avoid breaking the cake structure.
- This cake pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
- For variation, add crushed pineapple to the batter for added texture and pineapple flavor.
