How to Make Pineapple Juice Cake Recipe

Let’s get baking! This Pineapple Juice Cake Recipe is as easy as it gets. Follow these steps, and you’ll have a tropical treat in no time.

Step 1: Prep the Dry Ingredients: Grab your box of yellow cake mix (or pineapple cake mix for extra flavor). Sift it with a pack of instant vanilla pudding mix. This keeps the cake light and fluffy.

Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, 4 tbsp melted butter, and 1 cup pineapple juice. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract and ½ tsp rum extract (if you’re feeling fancy).

Step 3: Combine and Mix: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Use a hand mixer to blend everything until smooth. No lumps, just silky batter.

Step 4: Bake: Grease your bundt pan (or a regular cake pan if that’s what you have). Pour in the batter and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes. Your kitchen will smell amazing!

Step 5: Make the Glaze: While the cake bakes, whip up the glaze. Melt 4 tbsp butter in a saucepan. Add 1 cup brown sugar, ¾ cup pineapple juice, and ½ cup granulated sugar. Simmer until thick and glossy.

Step 6: Glaze the Cake: Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes all over it with a skewer. Pour the warm glaze over the top, letting it soak in. Trust me, this step is magic.

Tips for the Best Pineapple Juice Cake

Want to make your easy pineapple cake Recipe even better? Here are my tried-and-true tips to nail it every time:

• Room Temperature Ingredients: Let your eggs and butter sit out for a bit before mixing. This helps everything blend smoothly and evenly.
• Adjust the Sweetness: If you’re not a fan of super-sweet desserts, cut back on the sugar in the glaze. The cake is already sweet enough on its own!
• No Bundt Pan? No Problem! : Use a regular cake pan or even a loaf pan. Just keep an eye on the baking time—it might need a few extra minutes.
• Poke Those Holes: When glazing, don’t be shy with the skewer. Poke plenty of holes to let that delicious glaze soak deep into the cake.
• Storage Tips: Keep your cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. If it lasts that long!

How Do You Store Pineapple Cake?

To store your delicious pineapple cake, first, ensure the cake is cool after baking. Once the cake is baking for about 30 to 35 minutes, and it has been removed from the oven, invert the cake onto a cooling rack. If you’ve used a bundt cake pan, gently poke holes in the cake while it is still warm and drizzle a warm glaze over the cake to enhance the pineapple flavor.

After allowing the cake to absorb the pineapple syrup, you can store it in an airtight container. If you want to maintain its freshness, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This good cake is best enjoyed within a few days, but it can be frozen for more extended storage. When you make this cake using Duncan Hines cake mixes, such as the butter cake mix or orange juice cake, the addition of crushed pineapple infuses it with fantastic pineapple flavor throughout the cake.

To make the cake, simply combine the cake mix with other ingredients, ensuring you make the pineapple syrup for drizzling. When ready to serve, place the cake onto a serving platter and enjoy a slice of this easy pineapple delight. Whether you’re using a boxed cake mix or a homemade recipe, this cake is sure to impress!
