How to make a pineapple glaze to go on a Pineapple cake?

Question

Ok So probably Monday or Tuesday I'm going to make a Pineapple cake. Not a pineapple upside down cake, a pineapple cake. I want to top it with crushed pineapple but how do I get that glaz-ey look on the top? Please help!

Answer 1

PINEAPPLE GLAZE

2 c. powdered sugar

8 tbsp. pineapple juice

Mix well together powdered sugar and pineapple juice and pour over cake while it is slightly warm.

Answer 2

2 cups powdered sugar...add pineapple juice 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.if you plan on glazing while cake is still warm...make the glaze rather thick...it will melt.

Answer 3

You can actually use a vanilla glaze to compliment the pineapple.  Works wonders and is delicious.

VANILLA GLAZE  

1/3 c. butter

2 c. powdered sugar

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla

2 to 4 tbsp. hot water

Answer 5

Add a cup of sugar to a can of crushed p/a WITH juice... bring to a boil, make sure all sugar is dissolved, and cool.  Spoon over top of cake.

Answer 6

You can heat the crushed pineapple and reduce it so it is thick, then put it on top as you wish, then heat some apricot jam and brush this over it.  It seems like apricot jam is the thing to use to give most anything that glazed look.
