GOLDEN RUM CAKE

My family requests this rummy Bundt cake from me at all our get-togethers. The butter rum glaze makes it special. An easy way to glaze your cake is to pour half of the glaze into Bundt pan, reinsert cake, then pour the rest of glaze over the bottom of the cake. Let absorb well then invert back onto platter.

GOLDEN RUM CAKE

I just wanted to share this cake with you that I made last Christmas that I'll be making again for this years' festivities. It was so good, that I'm pretty sure it will become a Christmas tradition. And it's a good one because it's loaded with booze- rum to be exact. You can use any type bundt pan.

Number Of Ingredients 11

•1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
•1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
•1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
•4 eggs
•1/2 cup water
•1/2 cup vegetable oil
•1/2 cup dark rum
•1/2 cup butter
•1/4 cup water
•1 cup white sugar
•1/4- 1/2 cup dark rum (i used 1/4 cup)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan, if using. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. About 5 minutes before the cake is done, make the glaze. In a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in desired amount of rum (1/4-1/2 cup). While cake is still hot use a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the cake (which will become the bottom). Brush on glaze allowing some of it to soak down the sides, between the cake and the pan. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate. Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used, this may take up to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving. Tastes best on day 2, so make it a day in advance if possible. Store any uneaten cake in an airtight container at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature before creaming them together.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, this will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder in three additions, alternately with the milk, until just combined.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven and check it regularly with a toothpick to ensure it is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it.

Conclusion:

Golden rum cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, buttery flavor and hints of rum, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a beautiful and delicious golden rum cake.
