Ingredients

For the Cake

1 box yellow cake mix

1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

4 large eggs

¾ cup vegetable oil

1 cup pineapple juice

For the Pineapple Glaze

2 cups powdered sugar

¾ cup pineapple juice

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Optional Garnishes

Crushed pineapple

Toasted coconut flakes

Maraschino cherries

Whipped cream

Directions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Thoroughly grease and lightly flour a Bundt pan, making sure every groove is coated to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and pineapple juice. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and butter. Stir continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Using a skewer or fork, poke holes all over the warm cake.

Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. Continue until all the glaze has been absorbed.

Let the cake cool completely before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.

Slice and serve on its own or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Tips for the Best Pineapple Juice Cake

Use 100% pineapple juice for the best flavor.

Pour the glaze over the cake while both are still warm for maximum absorption.

Don’t rush the cooling process before removing the cake from the pan.

Refrigerate overnight for an even moister texture and deeper pineapple flavor.

Toasted coconut makes a delicious tropical garnish.

Delicious Variations

Coconut Pineapple Cake

Add 1 cup of shredded coconut to the batter and garnish with toasted coconut flakes.

Pineapple Cream Cheese Cake

Drizzle with cream cheese glaze instead of the pineapple glaze for a richer dessert.

Tropical Fruit Cake

Add diced mango or chopped pineapple chunks to the batter for extra fruit flavor.

Pineapple Cherry Cake

Top with maraschino cherries and a sprinkle of coconut for a classic tropical presentation.

Storage

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week. This cake also freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
