Pineapple Orange Cake W/ Pineapple Glaze image

This cake came about last night, as I had leftover pineapple juice from other recipes I wanted to use...so I used it in this cake... I love orange and pineapples, so how could I go wrong?...the orange zest gives a wonderful flavor...it's so moist and delicious...this cake would also be great with an orange frosting, instead of...

This cake is a great way to use up leftover pineapple. I also like to add some chopped walnuts or pecans for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I really enjoyed this cake. The orange flavor really balances out the pineapple.

This cake is so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I love that I can use fresh or canned pineapple.
