I pureed the crushed pineapple with a hand blender
Then I mixed all the ingredients together with a hand mixer
I baked the cake in a square 9 inch pan
Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes


For the Glaze:
Mix everything together (with a hand mixer) aside from the cherry juice in a medium sized bowl

Use half of the glaze to cover the cake
