Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or round cake pans.
  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
    Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the pineapple juice and buttermilk. Stir until smooth.
  5. Bake the Cake:
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cake for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the Glaze:
    For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Glaze the Cake:
    Once the cake has cooled, pour the glaze over the top and allow it to drip down the sides.

Notes

  • If you want a richer flavor, use fresh pineapple juice for the glaze and cake.
  • The cake can be served with extra pineapple slices for a tropical touch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
