Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or a Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet to line a 9×13-inch baking pan for easy removal.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl (or using a blender like the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black), combine the eggs, pineapple juice, oil, and vanilla. Blend until well combined.
4. Pour wet mixture into dry ingredients and stir until just incorporated; do not overmix. Fold in the drained crushed pineapple if using, for extra pops of fruit.
5. Pour batter evenly into your prepared pan. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. While the cake bakes, whisk the glaze ingredients together, adjusting pineapple juice to reach your desired consistency.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack. Pour glaze slowly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in for maximum moistness.
8. Let cool completely before slicing. Store covered to preserve that perfect, moist crumb!
