Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box Yellow cake mix Preferably Duncan Hines for consistent results.
  • 1 pack Instant vanilla pudding mix Enhances the texture and flavor.
  • 8 oz Cream cheese Make sure it’s softened for a smooth filling.
  • 1 cup Crushed pineapple Drain thoroughly to avoid excess moisture.
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream Adds richness and moisture to the cake.
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable oil
  • 3 large Eggs
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
Glaze Ingredients
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp Pineapple juice For a smooth drizzle consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your bundt pan generously with flour.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, drained crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Beat on medium speed for 2-3 minutes until smooth and thick.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar, an egg, and vanilla extract until silky and well-blended.
  4. Pour about two-thirds of the batter into the prepared bundt pan, then spoon the cream cheese mixture over it. Top with the remaining batter, smoothing gently.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Finishing Touch
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar and pineapple juice to achieve a smooth glaze.
  2. Once cooled, drizzle the glaze over the cake and, if desired, sprinkle toasted coconut for garnish.

Notes

Allow the batter to mix thoroughly for a uniform texture. Experiment with flavors by adding a teaspoon of almond extract for a unique twist. Let the cake cool completely before glazing for the best results.
