Moist & Flavorful Pineapple Juice Cake Recipe – Easy & Delicious


  • Author: Diana Carrozza

Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • ¾ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Pineapple Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan or a regular cake pan.

Step 2: Prepare the Cake Batter

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding mix, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  • Add the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, and eggs.
  • Mix everything together using an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until the batter is smooth.

Step 3: Bake the Cake

  • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  • Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 4: Prepare the Pineapple Glaze

  • While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar, melted butter, and pineapple juice in a bowl. Stir until smooth.

Step 5: Glaze the Cake

  • Once the cake is done baking, let it cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
  • Poke small holes in the cake using a fork or toothpick.
  • Slowly pour the pineapple glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  • Let the cake sit for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Notes

  • Cake Mix Substitute: You can use homemade vanilla cake batter if you prefer not to use a boxed mix.
  • Juicier Cake Tip: For extra pineapple flavor, replace ½ cup water in the cake mix with additional pineapple juice.
  • Best Pan to Use: A Bundt pan works best for this cake, but a 9×13-inch pan can also be used.
