Ingredients :
For the cake:
- 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
- ½ cup salted butter, melted
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup crushed or chunked pineapple
For the Glaze:
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup butter, room temperature
Directions:
- Preheat and Prepare: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with butter or baking cooking spray to ensure your cake slides out effortlessly once baked.
- Mix and Blend: In a large bowl, combine the pineapple juice, melted butter, and cake mix until smooth. Incorporate the eggs and crushed or chunked pineapple into the mixture, and mix on high speed for 2 minutes until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake to Perfection: Place your pineapple cake in the preheated oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Once baked to golden perfection, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: While your cake cools, it’s time to whip up the delectable glaze. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, powdered sugar, and room temperature butter. Cook over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Glaze and Serve: Using a straw or skewer, poke holes throughout the bottom of the cake. Pour one-third of the glaze over the bottom of the cake and let it soak for 10-15 minutes. Carefully flip the cake over onto a serving platter. To the remaining glaze, add 1.5 cups powdered sugar to thicken it slightly, then spoon it over the top of the cake.
