Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained (reserve juice for glaze)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, cream cheese, and sugar until fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Gradually add eggs, mixing well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the butter mixture until just combined. Stir in vanilla extract and well-drained crushed pineapple.
  4. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 80-90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. For the glaze, whisk powdered sugar with reserved pineapple juice and lemon juice until smooth; adjust consistency as needed. Once cooled, drizzle over the cake.
