Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, or use non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2: Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, pineapple juice, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until smooth.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Make the Glaze
While the cake bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, pineapple juice, and melted butter in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5: Glaze & Cool
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack or serving plate. While still warm, pour the glaze over the cake.
Step 6: Enjoy!
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
