Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.25 oz / 432 g) box of yellow or butter cake mix
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup (180 ml) vegetable oil
- ¾ cup (180 ml) pineapple juice
- 2 cups (240 g) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) pineapple juice
- 4 tbsps (56 g) unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preparation: Calibrate oven to 325°F and meticulously spray Bundt pan with cooking lubricant, ensuring total surface coverage.
- Batter Creation: Amalgamate cake mix, vegetable oil, pineapple juice, and eggs in a capacious mixing vessel, utilizing electric mixer to transform ingredients into a velvety, homogeneous mixture for approximately 2 minutes.
- Baking Process: Distribute batter uniformly into prepared Bundt pan and position within preheated oven, baking for 30-35 minutes until toothpick emerges pristine and cake’s periphery subtly detaches from pan’s interior.
- Glaze Crafting: Simultaneously melt butter with powdered sugar and pineapple juice in diminutive saucepan, whisking over minimal heat to generate a luminous, seamless sauce.
- Flavor Infusion: Gently perforate warm cake with skewer, creating conduits for glaze penetration, then cascade warm glaze generously across surface, allowing liquid to infiltrate cake’s internal structure.
- Serving Presentation: Permit cake to stabilize for 15-20 minutes, facilitating maximum glaze absorption, then elegantly invert onto decorative serving platform, revealing intricate Bundt design and tropical essence.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking Carefully: Use generous cooking spray and ensure complete Bundt pan coverage to avoid cake clinging to pan surfaces.
- Mix for Silky Texture: Beat ingredients precisely for 2 minutes to create smooth, well-incorporated batter without overmixing.
- Check Doneness Accurately: Test cake with toothpick method; clean toothpick and slightly pulled edges indicate perfect baking completion.
- Maximize Glaze Penetration: Poke warm cake with skewer before drizzling to create channels for deeper, more intense flavor absorption.
