Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (3 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs, room temperature
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, well drained (reserve juice for glaze)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons reserved pineapple juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease a 10-inch bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until very light and fluffy (about 4-5 minutes).
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
- Stir in the vanilla extract and drained crushed pineapple until evenly distributed.
- Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top. Bake in preheated oven for 80-90 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, reserved pineapple juice, and lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Adjust consistency by adding more juice if too thick or more sugar if too thin.
- Once your pound cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze generously over its top.
