Time 2h

Yield 12 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
1 cup chopped pecans
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry milk powder
6 tablespoons cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup dark rum
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup honey
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dark rum

Steps:

  • For the cake: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 325 degrees F.
  • Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom with the chopped pecans. Set aside.
  • Combine the flour, dry milk, cornstarch, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix until combined. (It will look like crumb topping.)
  • Whisk together the milk, rum, oil, vanilla and eggs in another bowl.
  • Slowly add the liquid mixture to the crumb mixture and mix until combined. (Pouring the liquid in slowly is important. The batter has a high ratio of liquid and will be thin almost like a thick crepe batter, but if you add the liquid too quickly you will get lumps that never go away no matter the amount of mixing!)
  • Pour the batter into the pan and bake until the top is golden, center is set and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack. Poke holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer.
  • For the buttered rum sauce: Meanwhile, add the butter, honey, cinnamon, cardamom, allspice, nutmeg, salt and 1/3 cup water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring, until the honey has dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum. (It is going to bubble and splatter a little, so be careful.)
  • Clean and dry the Bundt pan, then place the cooled cake back inside the pan. Poke a few holes in the top. Evenly pour the rum sauce over the cake. Let the cake sit to absorb the sauce, 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Invert the cake back onto a cake plate and serve at room temperature. (See Cook's Note.)

Provided by susanwadle

Number Of Ingredients 13

Batter:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 T baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1/2 (1 stick) melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup whole milk
2 oz semi-sweet or bittersweet, finely chopped or grated
Rum Cream Sauce:
4 T granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup rum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. To prepare batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the eggs and mix well, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the melted butter and the milk, and keep stirring until they are incorporated. Fold in the chocolate. Pour the bater into a 9" non-stick or well greased springform pan, place on a cookie sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Let the cake rest for at least 10 - 15 minutes. Loosen the sides of the cake with a butter knife and then invert it onto a serving dish. Make the Rum Cream Sauce right before serving. To prepare the rum cream sauce: Place all the sauce ingredients in a nonstick saucepan and cook over medium heat until the sauce starts to thicken, about 5 - 6 minutes. Cut the cake into serving slices and serve with a spoonful of sauce on top of each.

Tips:

  • To achieve a moist and fluffy cake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing.
  • Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt together to avoid lumps and ensure even distribution.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a lifted cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to fully incorporate before adding the next.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with buttermilk to prevent overmixing and maintain a smooth batter.
  • Pour the batter into prepared cake pans and tap them gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
  • Bake the cakes at the recommended temperature and time, checking for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center, which should come out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For the rum cream sauce, ensure the heavy cream is well-chilled before whipping to achieve stiff peaks.
  • Gradually add the confectioners' sugar, rum, and vanilla extract to the whipped cream, mixing until smooth and creamy.
  • To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving platter, spread some rum cream sauce, and top with the second layer. Repeat the process and finish with a final layer of sauce.
  • Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, cocoa powder, or fresh berries for an elegant presentation.
