I have been making this cake for over twenty years now. It is a family and friend-favorite. This cake is extremely moist and very rich.

Time 1h5m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
4 eggs
1 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
½ cup water
½ cup pineapple juice
½ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
¼ cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Beat yellow cake mix, eggs, instant pudding mix, water, pineapple juice, oil and poppy seeds together in a large bowl; pour into prepared pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • Remove cake from oven, rest on wire cooling rack. Run knife between cake and sides of pan to release. Using a skewer, poke holes in the cake at 1/2-inch intervals. Pour sauce over cake and let rest in pan for 45 minutes to cool.
  • Stir sugar, pineapple juice, and butter together in a saucepan over medium heat until the butter melts, 1 to 2 minutes; bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute more. Remove saucepan from heat and pour sauce over the cake.
  • Let cake cool and absorb the sauce at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.
  • Remove cake from pan and dust with confectioners' sugar.
