Ingredients:

  • For the Cake:
    • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  
    • 1 cup pineapple juice (from a can or carton)
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoons pineapple juice (or milk)
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
    • In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    • Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.  
    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.  
    • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
    • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.  
    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.  
  2. Prepare the Glaze:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice (or milk), and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more pineapple juice or milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Glaze the Cake:
    • Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
  4. Serve:
    • Let the glaze set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Tips and Notes:

  • Pineapple Juice: Use pineapple juice from a can or carton, not fresh pineapple juice, as it can be too acidic.
  • Cake Variations: You can add shredded coconut or chopped macadamia nuts to the batter for added flavor and texture.
  • Glaze Variations: You can add a splash of rum or coconut extract to the glaze for a tropical twist.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
