Rum Cake With A Butter Rum Glaze Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray a standard 10-inch bundt pan with cooking spray. Sprinkle walnuts evenly on the bottom of bundt pan and set aside. In a medium bowl, stir together flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside. Using an electric mixer cream butter and sugar. Stir in vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract and rum. Gradually add in flour mixture to wet ingredients until blended. Pour batter into bundt pan on top of nuts. Bake in preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes until cake tester comes out clean. Cool completely before inverting. Butter Rum Glaze: In a small saucepan combine butter, sugar, rum and water over medium heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 to 4 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Using a toothpick poke small holes all over cake. Generously brush cake with glaze. Drizzle remaining glaze on top of cake. Reserve a small amount to pour on slices when serving.

Steps:

• Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
• Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
• Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
• Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
• Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
• Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
• Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over the bottom of the pan.
• Mix together the cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix. Pour batter over the nuts in the pan.
• Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and invert cake on a serving plate. Prick the top of the cake.
• To Make The Glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in 1/8 cup water and the 1/2 cup sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove glaze from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Drizzle and smooth evenly over the top and sides.
