2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup rum
4 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
5 teaspoons baking powder

1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 lemon, zest of, only
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup rum

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the diced papaya, raisins and lemon juice. Add 1/2 cup rum and allow to soak for half an hour.
  • Spray a large 12 cup bundt pan with cooking spray and add 4 tbs melted butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar to the bottom of the pan. With a tablespoon strain 5 heaping tbs of the fruit mixture and add to the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  • In an electric mixer blend flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and diced butter on low speed. When blended continue mixing and add the 4 eggs one at a time. Follow with the sour cream, vanilla and oil. Add the remaining fruit mixture (including the liquid), the lemon zest and coconut and blend well.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour. Check for doneness with a wooden pick. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • For the glaze: In a small pan on the stove, mix butter, granulated sugar and rum and bring just to a boil. Spoon the glaze onto the cake until it is completely absorbed. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight.
  • Before turning out the cake onto a serving platter, warm it in a 325 degree oven for 10 minutes to loosen the sugar mixture at the bottom of the pan. The cake will be very delicate.

The cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I think I might try adding some pineapple or mango next time to give it a bit more moisture.
