Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 box 15.25 oz. of yellow or butter cake mix (Recommended: Betty Crocker or Pillsbury, read below for details)
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice for the cake
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- For the Glaze:
- 3/4 cup pineapple juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Preheat and Prep: Begin by setting your oven to 325°F. Generously grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan, creating a non-stick surface for your sumptuous cake.
Blend the Batter: Grab a large mixing bowl, and with the assistance of an electric mixer, amalgamate the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Beat the mixture for approximately 2 minutes. Now, it’s ready to be poured into your prepared Bundt pan.
The Oven’s Embrace: Bake your cake for 30 to 35 minutes. Your cue to take it out is when a toothpick inserted into the cake’s core emerges clean, and the cake begins to subtly detach from the pan’s edges. Allow the cake to initiate its cooling phase in the pan.
Glaze Alchemy: Simultaneously, commence with the glaze. Blend your powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and butter in a petite saucepan. Employ medium-low heat and stir until the butter is entirely liquefied.
Glaze Deployment: Use a toothpick or skewer to puncture small holes throughout the cake. Lavish the warm glaze over your cake. It may appear to be an excessive amount, but proceed with audacity—pour away.
The Final Countdown: Let your cake absorb the glaze for another 15 to 20 minutes. Once the cake has cooled and the glaze is mostly absorbed, you can invert it onto a serving platter with pride.
Notes
Choice of Cake Mix: Duncan Hines cake mixes are not recommended for this particular recipe. Betty Crocker and Pillsbury have been tested and yield much better results. Texture Alert: This cake will be super moist. If you’re someone who prefers a drier texture, feel free to hold back on the glaze.
