I bought a box of spice cake recently and didn’t want to make the spice cake itself. I wanted to give it a little more flavor and moisture. I decided to buy some crushed pineapple and add some to this cake mix. I added a little nutmeg and cinnamon to the batter, and then added some crushed pineapple to it. I wasn’t sure this was going to work, but I was willing to give it a try. Presto, it turned out great!

Ingredients

How To Make moist pineapple spice cake

  • Step 1
    Secure a large mixing bowl. Dump in dry boxed spiced cake mix. Whisk out all of the lumps.
  • Step 2
    To the cake mix, add water, eggs, and oil. Whisk until all is combined and smooth.
  • Step 3
    Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice into the batter and mix once again.
  • Step 4
    Secure a Bundt pan and grease it very well with butter or cooking spray.
  • Step 5
    Dust the Bundt pan with flour and tap off the excess. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Step 6
    Add in 2/3 of a cup of crushed pineapple and mix well.
  • Step 7
    Pour cake mixture into prepared Bundt pan. Smooth out and then tap gently on the countertop to remove excess bubbles. Bake for 40 minutes or until it is golden Brown. Once the cake is done, let it rest in the oven for about 10 minutes.
  • Step 8
    Pull it out of the oven and let it cool on a wire rack or on the countertop. Make sure it is completely cooled before drizzling with powdered sugar and milk glaze over the top.
  • Step 9
    You can frost it if you’d like, but I just gave it a quick glaze with a simple powdered sugar and milk.
