A full printable version of this recipe with ingredient measurements is available at the bottom of this post.
- STEP ONE: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and generously grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan with non-stick spray.
- STEP TWO: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cake mix, vanilla extract, and pineapple juice. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- STEP THREE: Add the room-temperature eggs and the crushed, drained pineapple to the mixture, then blend until fully mixed.
- STEP FOUR: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- STEP FIVE: After baking, let the pineapple bundt cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Gently invert the pan onto a cooling rack to release the cake and let it cool completely.
- STEP SIX: For the sweet pineapple vanilla glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and melted butter until smooth. Slowly add in the reserved pineapple juice until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
- STEP SEVEN: Once the cake has cooled, place it on a serving plate. Drizzle the pineapple glaze over the top, allowing it to flow down the sides.
- STEP EIGHT: Allow the pineapple glaze to set for a few minutes, then slice and serve your delightful pineapple cream cheese pound cake with a side of fresh fruit.
