This cake came about last night, as I had leftover pineapple juice from other recipes I wanted to use...so I used it in this cake... I love orange and pineapples, so how could I go wrong?...the orange zest gives a wonderful flavor...it's so moist and delicious...this cake would also be great with an orange frosting, instead of the glaze.. Enjoy!

How To Make pineapple orange cake w/ pineapple glaze

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Spray a 9 cup Bundt cake pan with non stick cooking spray. Sprinkle pecans evenly in the bottom of cake pan. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium sized mixing bowl; add all ingredients but the zest. Mix on low until moistened, then another few minutes on medium or until well blended.
Step 3

Fold in the zest.
Step 4

Pour evenly into prepared pan and bake for 55 - 60 minutes or until pick comes out clean.
Step 5

Prepare glaze during last 10 minutes of baking. Place butter, sugar and pineapple juice in a medium saucepan. ( I added a pinch of orange zest I had left) Bring to a boil and continue boiling for at least 3 minutes. If you want a thicker glaze, boil a few minutes longer.
Step 6

When cake is finished baking, pour glaze over the cake and let cool completely before removing from pan. After cooled, remove cake to serving platter and serve...enjoy!
