Pineapple Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake

· Modified: by · This post may contain affiliate links · 7 Comments

For the past week I've been thinking about making a rich, dense, olive oil and orange coffee cake with a crumb topping. This is not that cake. Pineapple Orange Olive Oil Bundt Cake is something I made to use up some delicately flavored olive oil. We generally prefer really grassy or buttery flavored olive oil, so this cake took care of our poor little unloved bottle of olive oil.

Pineapple Supreme Cake Mix

The recipe is based on one from Duncan Hines and calls for their Signature Pineapple Supreme cake mix, a flavor I always forget about because it has Upside Down Cake on the front and I always make Upside Down Cake from scratch. But I bought the cake mix out of curiosity one day and it makes a very fine pineapple flavored Bundt.

So yes, it's from a box. And I actually had to answer the question "Is that from box?" before serving a slice to my friend, Linda. She's one of my favorite taste testers and is partial scratch, so I told her "Yes, but it's doctored up and good." She took a bite and agreed.

Todd and Fuzz liked it too, for that matter.

So I'll eventually get around to posting a good scratch coffee cake recipe, but if you need an easy-to-slice, soft, tight crumbed and uniquely flavored no-brainer cake, this one is great!

UPDATE! It looks like the box sizes have changed since I made this, so I'll need to re-test and rework the recipe.

    I was looking for an olive oil can recipe with a chunky applesauce to go with when I came across your pineapple olive oil can. I will make it for Christmas and New Year's. Thank you

    Speaking of flavored olive oil - I made your chocolate olive oil cake with some Mandarin flavored oil I had. It turned out really well, with a very subtle orange flavor.

    Thanks for the recipe Anna - I'm going to bring this to a party I'm going to on Saturday! Everyone seems to love "doctored up" cake mixes.
