Kick off summer with a Pineapple Volcano Rum Cake!
Triple pineapple!
This butter rum cake is covered with pineapple glaze, pineapple icing with a real pineapple topper
The lava from this volcano is pineapple buttercream icing
And here’s the best part
You won’t even break a sweat making this easy cake
Cool cake completely and turn out onto a plate
Make a simple glaze with powdered sugar, pineapple juice and yellow food coloring
Next make a small batch of pineapple buttercream icing
Add pineapple juice until the icing is loose enough to ooze down cake sides
That’s all there is to it!
Cut off the top of a fresh pineapple and place atop cake for an impressive presentation
This recipe is adapted from my original Beachbum Butter Rum Cupcakes, and I borrowed the idea for the cake topper from Liv for Cake here
