Pineapple Juice Cake Recipe
To whip up this delicious treat, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients:
– 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow or buttercream cake mix (Betty Crocker or Pillsbury are great options)
– 3/4 cup vegetable oil
– 3/4 cup pineapple juice
– 4 large eggs
For the glaze:
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 3/4 cup pineapple juice
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
To get started, preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 10 to 12 cup Bundt pan with flour.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Beat the mixture for about two minutes until it’s well blended. Then, pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the cake begins to pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, you can prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, mix together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and butter. Cook the mixture on medium-low heat until the butter melts, stirring constantly.
Once the cake is done baking, allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. While it’s cooling, use a skewer or toothpick to poke holes in the cake. Then, pour the warm glaze over the cake while it’s still in the pan. Don’t be shy with the glaze – pour it liberally over the cake.
Let the cake cool for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until most of the glaze has been absorbed. Then, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate.
With just 15 minutes of prep time and 30 minutes of baking time, you can have this delightful Pineapple Juice Cake ready to enjoy in no time. This recipe yields approximately 12 servings, with each serving packing a punch of tropical flavor at just 350 calories per serving.
