Pineapple Juice Cake

Kitchen Equipment Needed

• 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan
• Large mixing bowl
• Electric mixer
• Saucepan
• Toothpick or skewer
• Cooling rack
• Serving platter

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Grease a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray with flour.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs.
4. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture for about 2 minutes until smooth and fully combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top evenly.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges pull away from the pan.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Glaze

1. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the butter, pineapple juice, and powdered sugar.
2. Stir constantly until the butter melts and the glaze becomes smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 3: Glaze the Cake

1. Using a toothpick or skewer, pierce the warm cake all over to allow the glaze to seep in.
2. Pour the warm glaze over the cake while it’s still in the pan. The cake will absorb the glaze, adding incredible moisture and flavor.
3. Let the cake sit for 15–20 minutes until most of the glaze is absorbed.

Step 4: Serve

1. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter and allow it to cool completely.
2. Drizzle with any remaining glaze before serving. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Pineapple Juice Cake

• Use Fresh Pineapple Juice: For an even more natural tropical flavor, try using fresh pineapple juice instead of canned.
• Even Baking: Rotate the pan halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
• Extra Moisture: For an extra moist cake, brush additional pineapple juice over the cake before adding the glaze.
• Add Texture: Sprinkle toasted coconut or crushed pineapple on top for a decorative touch.
