6 steps
Prep:15minCook:50min
This delightful Bundt cake is a tropical twist on a classic zucchini bake—moist, spiced, and bursting with flavor. The natural sweetness of crushed pineapple pairs beautifully with warm cinnamon and nutmeg, while grated zucchini adds a tender crumb without overpowering the taste. A drizzle of tangy pineapple glaze seals the deal, making this cake a perfect centerpiece for brunch, potlucks, or cozy afternoon tea. Whether you include the optional walnuts for crunch or keep it smooth and simple, this recipe is a celebration of texture, flavor, and sunshine in every slice
