This Pineapple Juice Cake is a moist and flavorful dessert bursting with the sweet and tangy essence of pineapple. Easy to prepare using a yellow cake mix, it's enhanced by a luscious pineapple glaze that soaks right into the cake, making it perfect for any celebration or casual treat.

  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

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

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent the cake from sticking.
  2. Mix Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Using a hand mixer on medium speed, beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until smooth and well blended.
  3. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the prepared batter into the greased Bundt pan, smoothing the top evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the cake is ready.
  5. Prepare Glaze: While the cake bakes, heat the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and unsalted butter together in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Apply Glaze: Once the cake is removed from the oven, immediately poke holes all over its top using a skewer or fork. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake while it is still in the pan to allow it to soak in.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the glaze fully. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and serve.

Notes

  • Add drained crushed pineapple to the batter for extra texture and pineapple flavor.
  • Mix shredded coconut into the glaze for an enhanced tropical flavor.
  • For a citrusy variation, substitute part of the pineapple juice in the batter with orange juice.
  • Store leftover cake at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat individual slices in the microwave for about 15 seconds for a warm treat.
