I am so excited that it is Spring and Easter is just around the corner! I wish I were in the tropics, but if I am in Maine, I am baking a Tropical Bundt Cake! Close as I can get to it! This is the moistest cake I have ever had! It smells amazing baking in the oven, you won’t wait to poke it with a pineapple glaze! If you are looking for Easter dessert recipes, look no further! I guarantee you this cake will be a hit at your Easter table!

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  Beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, and 3/4 cup pineapple juice in large bowl with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Scrape half vanilla bean pod; combine with cake batter or mix 1 tablespoon vanilla extract into cake batter. Fold in crushed pineapple. Pour into prepared pan.

Combine remaining pineapple juice, powdered sugar and melted Country Crock in a small bowl while cake is baking.  Scrape other half of vanilla bean pod and mix with juice mixture or stir in remaining 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.

Remove cake from oven and set on a wire rack. Poke holes in cake with skewer ( I used a chopstick) at ½-inch intervals while still hot and in pan. Pour soaking mixture over cake (NOTE: if soaking mixture begins to pool, poke additional holes). Allow to cool in pan 30 to 40 minutes, then flip cake upside down onto serving platter; remove pan. Cool completely then drizzle with glaze, if desired.

Baking temp? 1T vanilla in cake and then 1T in soaking mix? 2T total (where ingredients list 1T total) I love vanilla, but this seems like a lot of vanilla? I look forward to making this, sounds delish! TY

Good Morning,

The baking temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are not using a vanilla bean pod, you can always substitute it with Vanilla Extract. Half of a Vanilla Bean pod= 1 Tbsp. of vanilla extract.
