Time 4h50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
2 large eggs
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
one 20-ounce can crushed pineapple, drained very well with juice reserved
about 2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 to 4 tablespoons pineapple juice, or as needed for consistency

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  • In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  • Wait momentarily before adding the eggs so you don't scramble them. Add the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and stir until just combined, don't overmix.
  • Add the crushed pineapple and stir to combine. (Reserve the juice for the glaze.)
  • Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  • Bake for about 36 to 41 minutes (I baked 39 minutes), or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter.*
  • Set cake on a wire rack to cool momentarily while you make the glaze.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 3 to 4 tablespoons of reserved pineapple juice, and whisk vigorously until smooth and combined. Depending on glaze consistency and preference, you may need to play with the sugar and juice ratios slightly; set glaze aside.
  • Using a small paring knife, poke the cake in about 25 spots, lightly twisting the knife with each poke. You don't need to make craters or get too wild poking because the glaze finds a way to soak in.
  • Evenly pour glaze over the cake. If glaze is pooling near the sides of pan, use a spatula to push it back up into the center and then use the spatula to 'squish' it down into the holes. Even if it looks like there's too much glaze, it eventually soaks in.
  • The longer you can let it soak (overnight is optimal) before slicing and serving the cake, the better.
  • Cake will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
3/4 cup frozen pineapple-orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups grated carrots
1 8 1/2-ounce can crushed pineapple in juice, well drained
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts
1 1/2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour 13x9x2-inch metal baking pan. Combine first 5 ingredients in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat 2 cups sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup juice concentrate, sour cream, and vegetable oil in large bowl until smooth. Beat in dry ingredients; stir in carrots, pineapple, raisins, and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake cake until tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Cool cake completely in pan.
  • Combine cream cheese, butter, and remaining 1/4 cup juice concentrate in medium bowl. Beat until blended. Add powdered sugar and beat until smooth. Spread frosting over cake. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Chill until frosting sets, then cover and keep chilled.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh pineapple and oranges. Fresh fruits yield the best flavor for the cake and glaze.
  • Grate the pineapple and orange zest finely. This will help the flavors infuse into the cake batter and glaze.
  • Do not overmix the cake batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Make the pineapple glaze while the cake is cooling. This will give the glaze time to thicken and cool slightly before pouring it over the cake.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

This pineapple orange cake with pineapple glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the glaze is sweet and tangy.
