Bundt cakes are the ultimate cakes for the lazy baker. They require little prep time and no or little to no decorating afterwards. For this pineapple bundt cake , I added pineapple directly into the batter for the most flavor. To garnish the top , I add just a simple whipped cream frosting topped with maraschino cherries and pineapple chunks. The simplicity is elegant and eye-catching!
My secret to making a moist and delicious bundt cake is to add melted chocolate to the batter. For this recipe I used white chocolate; for others , I use dark or milk chocolate. The chocolate adds incredible moisture to the cake and flavor.

Baking Tip: have you ever baked a bundt cake only for it to get stuck in the pan? Worst feeling ever! To avoid that disaster in the future , make sure to use a baking spray that contains a starch. I get mine from Williams Sonoma. Or , try buttering and flouring the pan. For this , simply use a square of softened butter and using your fingers , grease the inside. Then , add approximately ¼ cup all-purpose flour to the pan and rotate it around until the flour coats the butter. Dump any excess flour out.

1 cup white chocolate , melted
4 large eggs
1 cup milk , lukewarm
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt

For Frosting:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream , chilled
1 cup confectioner's sugar

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 335F. Prepare a large bundt cake pan by spraying the pan well with a baking spray; or use the butter and flour method.
In a large mixing bowl , cream together the softened butter , sugar and vanilla for a few minutes until the mixture is fluffy. Add in the melted chocolate and mix again until smooth. Begin adding the eggs , one at a time , and mix well after each addition. Warm the milk in the microwave until lukewarm , then pour into the batter.
In a separate bowl , combine the dry ingredients: flour , salt and baking powder. Sift the dry ingredients into the batter and mix for 30 seconds with a hand mixer , or mix in by hand just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
Drain as much of the juice from the crushed pineapple as possible , then add to the batter and fold. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour , up to 1 hour and 20 minutes; until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
