Moms Rum Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Sprinkle nuts over bottom of greased and floured 10 inch bundt pan.
• Mix all cake ingredients and pudding mix together; pour batter over nuts.
• BAKE AT 325 DEGREES FOR 1 HOUR or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
• Set on rack to cool; then invert on serving plate.
• GLAZE: Melt butter or oleo in saucepan; stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly; stir in rum.
• Generously prick top, sides, and inside ring of cake with cooking fork.
• Using turkey baster, soak and then brush glaze evenly over top and sides of cake.
• Garnish with whole maraschino cherries and a border of sugar frosting, cool whip or whipped cream.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325.
• 2. Spray a bundt pan well with nonstick spray for baking. Sprinkle the chopped nuts in the bottom of the pan.
• 3. Mix the cake mix, pudding mix, oil, water, eggs, vanilla extract and rum until well mixed about 2 minutes.
• 4. Pour over the pecans in the bundt pan. Bake at 325 for 40-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes before removing from pan.
• 5. For the glaze melt butter in a saucepan combine with confectioners sugar and rum or rum extract.
• 6. Mix until smooth adding 1/2 tablespoon milk at a time until it's thin enough to pour over cake but not to thin.
• 7. You will probably need more of the milk if you use the rum extract instead of the actual rum since you use less.
• 8. Pour the glaze over the cake letting it run down and over the sides. If your glaze is thick enough your glaze won't run a whole lot. Dot the top and down the sides a little with the pecan halves.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.
• Combine cake mix and pudding mix.
• In another bowl beat eggs, water, oil and rum until frothy. Add cake mix/pudding mixture and beat until well mixed. Spread pecans evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan and pour batter over pecans.
• Bake cake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out dry when inserted in the center. Allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes and remove from pan. Place in serving dish immediately, right side up. (Pecans should be on the bottom)
• To Make Glaze: During the last 15 to 20 minutes of baking time, combine butter or margarine, water and sugar in a sauce pan and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and boil rapidly until it's very thick and syrupy stirring very frequently. The syrup must be reduced quite a bit and very thick otherwise it will make the cake mushy. Remove from heat and add rum. While cake is still hot, poke holes all over top of cake with a toothpick and spoon glaze over top of cake. Allow cake to sit at room temperature for one day then refrigerate.
