Ingredients

Scale

Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze Ingredients

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan to ensure the cake doesn’t stick.
  2. Mix cake batter: In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until the batter is smooth and uniform.
  3. Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Prepare the glaze: While the cake is baking, heat the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat. Stir until the ingredients are fully combined and the glaze is smooth.
  5. Apply the glaze: Once the cake is baked and still hot, poke holes all over the top with a skewer or fork. Slowly pour the warm glaze over the cake while it is still in the pan to allow it to soak in.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes to absorb the glaze. Then, invert the Bundt pan onto a serving plate and remove the cake. Allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure to poke holes evenly so the glaze seeps throughout the cake for extra moistness.
  • You can substitute vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a slightly different flavor.
  • For a tangier glaze, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the glaze mixture.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • This cake pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
