Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Caramel Glaze:

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)

Feel free to substitute ingredients as needed for dietary preferences. For a dairy-free option, try using coconut cream in the glaze and a dairy-free yogurt in place of sour cream.


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a Bundt pan thoroughly to ensure the cake releases easily once baked.

Step 2: Cream the Butter, Sugar, and Oil

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and vegetable oil. Beat until light and fluffy – this step helps achieve a smooth, even texture.

Step 3: Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This ensures that the cake has a tender crumb. Stir in vanilla extract for added flavor.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Sifting helps prevent lumps in the batter.

Step 5: Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with pineapple juice and sour cream. This creates a soft, fluffy batter that isn’t overmixed.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 7: Prepare the Caramel Glaze

While the cake cools, prepare the caramel glaze. In a saucepan, heat sugar over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it melts and turns a golden color. Add butter and stir until melted, then carefully whisk in heavy cream and sea salt.

Step 8: Drizzle the Glaze

Once the glaze has cooled slightly, drizzle it over the cooled cake. The result is a glossy, sweet topping that complements the pineapple flavor perfectly.

Notes

  1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature eggs, butter, and sour cream ensures smoother mixing and a more even bake.
  2. Fresh Pineapple Juice: If possible, use fresh pineapple juice for a more intense flavor.
  3. Cool Before Glazing: Make sure the cake is completely cooled before adding the caramel glaze to prevent it from soaking in too much.
