This moist and flavorful cake is infused with the tropical sweetness of pineapple juice. It’s a simple and delicious cake that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients:

  • For the Cake:
    • 1 box yellow cake mix (plus ingredients called for on the box)  
    • 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
    • 4 large eggs
  • For the Glaze:
    • 1 cup powdered sugar
    • 2-3 tablespoons pineapple juice
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
    • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs.
    • Beat on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  2. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
    • Bake for 35-40 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.  
  3. Prepare the Glaze:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more pineapple juice if needed to achieve a drizzling consistency.
  4. Glaze the Cake:
    • Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  5. Serve:
    • Slice and serve the Pineapple Juice Cake.

Tips and Variations:

  • Crushed Pineapple: Add 1 cup of crushed pineapple (drained) to the cake batter for added texture and flavor.
  • Coconut Flakes: Add 1/2 cup of shredded coconut to the batter for a tropical twist.
  • Spices: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm, spiced flavor.
  • Cream Cheese Frosting: Use a cream cheese frosting instead of the glaze for a richer topping.
  • Make-Ahead: This cake can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cake for up to 3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
