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
  • 2–3 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until very light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Stir in vanilla extract and drained crushed pineapple gently until evenly distributed.
  4. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan; smooth out the top.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 80-90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, reserved pineapple juice, and lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency as needed.
  7. Once your cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top. Consider garnishing with pineapple chunks or toasted coconut before serving.
