From the first bite, it captured everyone’s attention. Even my husband who tends to lean towards savory anything was going on and on about it. “It’s sunshine in cake form” he said, and I couldn’t agree more.
Since then, this cake has become an important food in our house. It is my favorite for birthdays, holidays, and even random Tuesday nights when we’re craving something sweet. My little one even loves helping me mix the batter and, of course, lick the spoon with this one.

Why This Easy Pineapple Juice Cake is a No-Brainer

Second, it’s super easy to make; you don’t need any special skills or equipment. Just mix, bake and enjoy! This easy recipe is perfect for beginner bakers or people looking for a no-fuss dessert.

Guidance for Pineapple Juice Cake
Here are basic suggestions to make sure you have a successful cake :
- Use unsweetened pineapple juice to have better control of the sweetness of the cake. If you have sweetened juice, you may want to reduce the sugar slightly.
- Don’t overmix the batter. Mix until just combined to avoid a dense cake.
As for glazing, let your cake cool completely. A warm cake can melt the glaze which can affect the integrity of the glaze.
Substitutions and Variations
This recipe allows lots of variations however you want to make a change :
- Swap the vegetable oil for melted butter and for a richer flavor.
- Add shredded coconut to the batter.
- Top with cream cheese frosting rather than a glaze for a richer dessert.
Create a Healthier Version
Want to lighten it up? You could try these swaps :
- Substitute whole wheat flour in place of all-purpose flour.
- Consider using honey or maple syrup, instead of sugar.
- Substitute coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

Ingredients
Instructions
-
Let’s turn these ingredients into a masterpiece. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking pan.
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the pineapple juice, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
-
Now, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix—this keeps the cake tender. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely before serving. For an extra touch, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and pineapple juice.
