This recipe is using vanilla pudding but you could swap that for your favorite flavor instead – or use a different one each time you make this!
In my opinion, lemon pudding makes this delish, too! My husband is usually not too fond of cakes that have pineapple in them, but he absolutely loves this one. He even wanted to take this to work once, and I got several requests for the recipe afterwards!
Ingredients
1 can (20oz) Dole Crushed Pineapple
1 box (2 layer) Yellow Cake Mix
1 package (4 serving size) Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding
3/4 C Vegetable Oil
4 Eggland’s Eggs
2 TBS vanilla, divided
1 C Confectioner’s Sugar
1 TBS Kerrygold Butter, melted
Glaze:
1/2 C Confectioner’s Sugar
1 TBS Cold Whole Milk
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 12 C Bundt Pan well.
Drain the Pineapple, measure 3/4 C of the juice to use with the cake mix.
Reserve remaining juice for the soaking mixture.
In a stand mixture, add cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, 3/4 C pineapple juice. Mix for 2 minutes. Add 1 TBS Vanilla. Fold in Crushed Pineapple.
Pour Batter into the Bundt Pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 38 – 42 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
In a small bowl, mix the soaking mixture: remaining pineapple juice, confectioner’s sugar, melted butter, 1 TBS vanilla.
Remove cake from oven and set it on a wire rack.
Poke holes in the cake with a skewer at 1/2″ intervals, while the cake is still hot.
Pour the soaking mixture all over the cake.
If the mixture pools, poke additional holes in the cake.
Allow to cool in the pan at least 30 – 40 minutes.
Invert the cake onto a serving platter.
Cool completely and then drizzle with the Glaze.
Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together confectioner’s sugar and milk, until smooth.
Drizzle all over the Cake.
Place in a covered Bundt Pan carrier until ready to serve.

It is on the list of ingredients … 20 oz can of crushed pineapple ?
Can’t we just go to the recipe and ingredients list? I have tapped 6 times and keep getting ads!
Hi, Cris! Just click on the “NEXT PAGE” text and it’ll take you right to the ingredients.

Hello, would be helpful if the recipe were printable.
Yes, please!!! If there is a way already to print please lets us know how.
If you click on the “There’s a hippy in the kitchen” link it will take you to where this recipe originated and you can then easily view without adds and print.
Amen. Why isn’t it?
Place your mouse over the recipe and run it down to the end and the print will show in blue shadow. Click on the right and a menu will come up to copy. Then go to wordpad is the program I use or Microsoft word program and on a blank page click once again and paste. Arrange your recipe how you want it to read and might have to title it at the top which I do and then go to the top and under file, click save as and put in the name you want it to save under. Then you have a recipe you can print later if want to.
That’s 6 steps and don’t know WHAT you’re talkin about in 2 of them. I do it in 2 and much easier.
What is the soaking mixture that u set aside.
I’ve only seen the left over pineapple juice
This recipe needs to be fixed, because you left that out
Everything in the recipe showed up on my phone…maybe print is being lost on SOME phones or computers because of technical glitches.
Is there anything you could use in place of pineapple?
Allergic.
Hi, I am definitely going to make this. It sounds yummy!
I LOVE LEMON..WHAT SOAKING DO I USE IF I DON’T PINEAPPLE? AND IT’S JUICE?
The whole recipe is there but took a bit to load
This seems like a LOT of vanilla especially for the soaking part.
Do you eventually take it out of the pan
Why don’t all of you take a chill pill and fully read the recipe. It is very clear with all of the ingredients. Or all of you novices in the kitchen. Gee!!!
This sounds delicious. I don’t have a stand mixer, can I use a handheld mixer instead, and mix as the recipe calls for?
Thank you
Confused re. Pineapple juice. My can of crushed pineapple only had 3/4 cup of juice….. Recipe too confusing!!!!!
I wonder how it would work if I used brown sugar in place of the powdered sugar in the soaking glaze? I’m thinking about melting it in a pot to dissolve the brown sugar. That would make it similar to a pineapple upside down cake, which I love! I think I’m going to try that this weekend! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
