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.
