Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • For the glaze:
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, pineapple juice, eggs, and oil until smooth.
  3. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan. Bake for 45–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. While cake bakes, make the glaze: combine butter, sugar, and pineapple juice in a saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 2–3 minutes. Stir in vanilla and remove from heat.
  5. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes. Slowly pour warm glaze over the cake in the pan.
  6. Cool completely before inverting onto a serving plate.

Notes

  • Use white or butter cake mix for variety.
  • Add coconut extract or shredded coconut for extra tropical flavor.
  • Mix crushed pineapple into the batter for added texture and richness.
  • Store at room temp for 3 days or refrigerate for 5 days. Freezes well.
  • Microwave slices for 10 seconds to refresh.
