TROPICAL PINEAPPLE COCONUT RUM CAKE
A fantastic summer dessert. This is a delicious rum cake with a tropical flair. Crushed pineapple and cream of coconut in the cake help to make it very moist. You taste the rum, but it's not an overpowering flavor. The pineapple rum glaze is buttery and soaks into the cake adding even more moisture. A bit of pineapple does not...

Steps:
- 1. CAKE: Preheat oven to 325. Grease and flour a large 12" Bundt or tube pan (or spray well with Bakers' Joy).
- 2. Mix all cake ingredients together at low speed for 30 sec, then at medium speed for 2 min.
- 3. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- 4. Bake for 1 hour or until toothpick comes out clean when inserted in center. Cool in pan until cake is completely cool. Make glaze while cake is cooling.
- 5. RUM GLAZE: Melt butter in a saucepan.
- 6. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly.
- 7. Add pineapple and boil 1 more minute while stirring.
- 8. Remove from heat and add rum; set aside and cool 10 minutes.
- 9. Poke holes all over the bottom of the cooled cake (I use a chopstick). Spoon glaze over cake bottom a little at a time so it soaks in until all glaze is used. Let cake sit for at least 30 minutes and then transfer to serving plate. The longer it sits, the better it gets!

TROPICAL RUM CAKE
My hubby came up with this variation of our rum cake recipe. Not big on pineapple or mango? Just use white rum and a yellow cake mix. Just as delish!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blend the first 6 ingredients then beat on high for 6 mins.
- 2. Pour batter into a non stick Bundt Pan (I still spray lightly with Baker's Joy before I add batter)
- 3. Bake in a pre-heated oven on middle rack for 40 to 45 minutes. Top should be golden brown. Remove from oven.
- 4. While cake is still hot add topping ingredients to a small saucepan on a med heat. Bring to a boil and let rapidly boil for a couple minutes, while stirring. Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over. Take a large fork (with 2 tines) and poke holes in still hot cake. Slowly pour or spoon topping over entire hot cake and leave in bundt pan until all the liquid is absorbed. Then turn cake upside down on serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or decorate with fresh fruit. Very rich, so easily cut into 16 servings. Even better if cake is still a little warm. A crown pleaser for sure. (make sure everyone knows there is alcohol in cake in case of sensitivites) Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality rum for the best flavor. Dark rum is a popular choice, but you can also use light rum or spiced rum.
- Soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to plump them up and give them a richer flavor.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients gradually until just combined. Overmixing will toughen the cake.
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack. This will help to prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. It can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
