Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1 (15.25-ounce) box yellow or butter cake mix (recommend Betty Crocker or Pillsbury)
• ¾ cup vegetable oil
• ¾ cup pineapple juice
• 4 large eggs

For the Glaze:

• 2 cups powdered sugar
• ¾ cup pineapple juice
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Preheat your oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
3. Bake the Cake: Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake edges start to pull away from the sides.
4. Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and butter. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
5. Glaze the Cake: Using a skewer or toothpick, poke holes in the warm cake. Pour the warm glaze over the cake, letting it soak in while the cake is still in the pan.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, or until the glaze is absorbed. Invert the cake onto a serving platter and enjoy.
