For the Cake:
1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
4 large eggs
1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar
2-3 tablespoons pineapple juice
Optional: toasted coconut for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
Make the Cake Batter:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, crushed pineapple, vegetable oil, sour cream, vanilla extract, and baking powder. Mix until well combined.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a separate bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Layer the Batter and Filling:
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the batter, then top with the remaining cake batter.
Bake the Cake:
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more juice or sugar as needed.
Glaze the Cake:
Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top. If desired, sprinkle toasted coconut on top for added texture and flavor.
Serve:
Slice and enjoy your delicious pineapple cream cheese Bundt cake!
