Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow or butter cake mix
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 large eggs

Glaze

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the cake does not stick.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, 3/4 cup pineapple juice, and the eggs. Use an electric mixer to beat the ingredients for about 2 minutes until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake begins to pull away from the sides of the pan. Remove from oven and allow the cake to start cooling in the pan.
  4. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake cools, combine the powdered sugar, 3/4 cup pineapple juice, and unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the butter is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Glaze the Cake: Use a skewer or toothpick to poke several holes all over the warm cake directly in the pan. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes. It may seem like a lot of glaze, but pour it all so the cake absorbs as much as possible.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the cake cool for 15 to 20 minutes more in the pan after glazing. Once mostly cooled and the glaze absorbed, carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter. Slice and enjoy your moist and flavorful pineapple juice cake!

Notes

  • For best results, use Pillsbury cake mix as preferred by the recipe creator.
  • Make sure to poke holes in the cake before pouring the glaze to allow maximum absorption.
  • You can substitute unsalted butter with salted butter if preferred, just reduce salt in the cake mix accordingly.
  • Allow the cake to cool sufficiently before inverting to prevent breakage.
