- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
For the Pineapple Glaze:
- 1 cup (240ml) pineapple juice
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
1ļøā£ Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350Ā°F (175Ā°C) and generously grease a bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2ļøā£ Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pineapple juice, and vegetable oil until well combined. Add the yellow cake mix and vanilla pudding mix, stirring until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
3ļøā£ Bake the Cake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
4ļøā£ Mix the Glaze
While the cake is baking, prepare the pineapple glaze by whisking together pineapple juice, powdered sugar, and melted butter in a bowl until smooth.
5ļøā£ Glaze the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and poke holes all over the surface using a fork or skewer. While the cake is still warm, pour the pineapple glaze evenly over the top, letting it soak into the cake for extra moisture and flavor.
6ļøā£ Cool & Serve
Allow the cake to rest for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
