A creation from Southern Bite, Pineapple Juice Cake offers a delightful blend of refreshing flavors and simple ingredients including cake mix, pineapple juice, and pantry staples. It’s a convenient and straightforward method to whip up a scrumptious cake bursting with the tropical taste of pineapple!
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 ounces butter, pineapple-flavored, or yellow cake mix (Betty Crocker or Pillsbury recommended)
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups canned pineapple juice
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- Powdered sugar for glaze
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter for glaze
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Slice and serve the Pineapple Juice Cake, and enjoy!
What is Pineapple Juice Cake?
A pineapple juice cake is exactly as it sounds! It’s a delightful, moist pineapple cake infused with pineapple juice in the batter and topped with a delicious pineapple juice glaze.
Can I make this cake from scratch?
Absolutely, you can! However, I must confess, I’ve only ever prepared it using a cake mix. I know, I know… gasps… clutches pearls… “Cake mix, Stacey?! Like, from a box?!”
How do I store Pineapple Juice Cake?
Due to its high moisture content from the juice, this cake tends to spoil faster compared to others. Therefore, I suggest storing the Pineapple Juice Cake tightly wrapped or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should remain fresh for 4 to 5 days when stored this way. Although, chances are you’ll devour it well before then.
Can I freeze Pineapple Juice Cake?
Certainly! You can preserve it by tightly wrapping it in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. When stored this way, it will stay fresh for several months in the freezer.
