Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Pineapple Juice
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
Glaze
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- Pineapple Juice (enough to achieve desired glaze consistency, about 2-3 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Stir these dry ingredients together until well blended.
- Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large eggs until frothy. Add 1 cup pineapple juice and 1/2 cup vegetable oil, then mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir gently using a spatula or spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix to keep the cake tender.
- Prepare Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading evenly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before applying the glaze.
- Prepare and Add Glaze: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with enough pineapple juice (about 2-3 tablespoons) to form a smooth glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure the baking powder is fresh to achieve a good rise.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake light and moist.
- The glaze is optional but adds extra sweetness and decorative appeal.
- Use a toothpick test to check doneness; it should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
