Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, shaking out the excess flour.
- Stir together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and maple extracts and eggs in a separate bowl. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Next, add the boiling water and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together until the flour is just mixed in. Slowly add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
- For the rum syrup: Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar and 2 tablespoons water and bring to a boil; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Slowly and carefully, pour in the rum while stirring. Then stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully, invert the cake onto a rack over a baking sheet. Poke the top and sides of the cake all over with a wooden skewer.
- Pour half of the syrup into the base of the bundt pan. Gently return the cake to the pan. Using the same skewer, poke the bottom of the cake. Pour the remaining syrup over the cake and around the edges of the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely and soak up the syrup in the bundt pan, about 1 hour.
- Once cooled, invert onto a serving platter. Slice and serve each piece with a dollop of Maple Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
- Add the cream and maple syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

HOLIDAY PUMPKIN CAKE WITH RUM-CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
This cake is a huge hit with my family during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. It's very moist and just melts in your mouth. It's a yummy alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. This cake is good as is, or sprinkled with powdered sugar. It is especially tasty with a good glaze drizzled on top. The glaze that my family likes best is made with cream cheese and a little bit of rum.

PUMPKIN RAISIN RUM BUNDT CAKE WITH BUTTER RUM GLAZE
Taken from my "Pumpkin Favorites" folder. Chopped walnuts or pecans can be substituted for the raisins if desired, and also sprinkled on top of the cake after glazing. If you don't want to use the glaze, a sprinkle of powdered sugar works just as well. This is a rich moist dense cake that is full of flavor, and only gets better with time!

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree will give your cake a more intense pumpkin flavor. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin and then scoop out the flesh.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that your cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.
- Store the cake at room temperature for up to 3 days: The cake can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Conclusion:
This pumpkin bundt cake with rum glaze is a delicious and festive fall dessert. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the rum glaze adds a touch of sweetness and sophistication. This cake is perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion.
