Ingredients:
For the Cake:
1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz, such as Betty Crocker)
1/2 cup salted butter, melted
3/4 cup pineapple juice
3 large eggs
1 cup crushed or chunked pineapple (drained if using canned)
For the Glaze:
3/4 cup pineapple juice
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a 10-12 cup bundt pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large bowl, mix together the pineapple juice, melted butter, and yellow cake mix until smooth.
Add the eggs and crushed or chunked pineapple, then mix on high speed for 2 minutes.
Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before proceeding.
Prepare the Glaze:
While the cake cools, mix together the glaze ingredients (pineapple juice, powdered sugar, and butter) in a small saucepan.
Heat over medium heat until the butter melts and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
Glaze the Cake:
Using a skewer or straw, poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake.
Pour 3/4 cup of the glaze over the cake and let it soak in for 10–15 minutes.
Flip the cake onto a serving platter, remove the pan, and drizzle the remaining glaze over the top.
Serve and Enjoy:
Slice and serve the cake at room temperature or slightly warm. Optional: garnish with pineapple chunks for an extra tropical touch.
