Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15.25 ounces/433 grams) box of yellow or butter cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) pineapple juice
Butter and Sugar:
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) unsalted butter
- 2 cups (240 grams) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (180 milliliters) pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C), positioning the rack in the center. Thoroughly coat a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray, then dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Utilize an electric mixer to blend the ingredients thoroughly for approximately 2 minutes until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Transfer the smooth batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform distribution.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Verify doneness by inserting a toothpick into the cake’s center; it should emerge clean. Additionally, the cake’s edges should slightly pull away from the pan’s sides.
- While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and softened butter. Heat the mixture over medium-low temperature, stirring consistently until the butter melts completely and the glaze becomes smooth.
- Once the cake is removed from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes. Using a wooden skewer or toothpick, carefully puncture multiple holes across the cake’s surface to enhance glaze absorption.
- Gradually pour the warm glaze over the cake while it remains in the pan, ensuring even distribution and maximum absorption.
- Allow the cake to rest for 15 to 20 minutes, permitting the glaze to seep into the cake’s interior.
- After complete cooling, gently invert the Bundt pan onto a decorative serving platter, allowing the cake to release smoothly.
Notes
- Unleash tropical flavors with this super-moist cake that combines the sweetness of pineapple and the richness of a classic pound cake.
- Achieve perfect texture by beating ingredients thoroughly for exactly 2 minutes, creating a smooth and consistent batter.
- Ensure baking success by checking doneness with the toothpick test – a clean toothpick means your cake is perfectly baked.
- Create a decadent glaze that penetrates the warm cake, infusing every bite with intense pineapple flavor and buttery richness.
- Patience is key when glazing – allow the cake to absorb the syrup completely for maximum moisture and taste.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate to extend the cake’s freshness.
