Light, fluffy, and soaked in pineapple goodness — this Pineapple Juice Cake is a tropical treat that’s as easy to make as it is delicious to eat. Made in a simple round cake pan and topped with a sweet pineapple glaze that pools and glistens, it’s the perfect no-fuss dessert. 🍰🌞

🛒 Ingredients

For the Cake:

1 box yellow cake mix (15.25 oz)
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.4 oz)
¾ cup pineapple juice (fresh or from can)
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Pineapple Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
¼ cup pineapple juice
1 tbsp melted butter

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan, and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Make the Batter:
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, pineapple juice, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2–3 minutes until smooth and thick.

3. Bake the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Cool the Cake:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then invert it carefully onto a plate or cooling rack and let it cool completely.

5. Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and melted butter until smooth and pourable.

6. Glaze the Cake:
Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak in and gently drip down the sides. You can also poke a few holes in the surface with a toothpick for extra absorption. 🍍✨

7. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve with coffee or tea — or enjoy it chilled from the fridge for a cool summer treat!

💡 Pro Tips

No Bundt? No problem. This round cake version is easier and just as beautiful.
Use parchment paper: It guarantees clean release from the pan.
Chill it: This cake tastes amazing served cold from the fridge.
