Description

Low effort pineapple juice cake under 250 calories—light, fruity, and easy to make for a quick, delicious, guilt-free dessert or snack!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (15.25 oz) box yellow or butter cake mix

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • ¾ cup pineapple juice

  • 4 large eggs

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • ¾ cup pineapple juice (for glaze)

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10–12-cup Bundt pan.

  • In a large bowl, combine cake mix, oil, pineapple juice, and eggs. Beat with a mixer for about 2 minutes until smooth.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the edges begin to pull away.

  • While the cake cools in the pan for 10 minutes, prepare the glaze: mix powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and melted butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat until smooth.

  • Poke holes in the cake while still in the pan and pour most of the warm glaze over it to soak in.

 

  • Let the cake cool an additional 15–20 minutes, then invert onto a plate and drizzle with the remaining glaze.

Notes

  • Store covered at room temperature for 3–4 days.

  • Freezes well for up to 3 months.

 

  • Use fresh pineapple juice for a more vibrant flavor.
