Categories     Dessert

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup finely-chopped pecans
1 (15.25 oz) box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup rum
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, at room temperature
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup rum
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • Sprinkle nuts in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, rum, water, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour the batter over the nuts in the pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • About 10 minutes before the cake is done, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Leave the hot cake in the pan and use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke holes in the bottom of the cake. Slowly drizzle about half of the glaze over the bottom of the cake, allowing time for the glaze to soak into the holes and be absorbed by the hot cake.
  • Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips. After about 10 minutes in the pan, turn the cake out onto the wire rack (right-side up). Poke holes on the top of the cake. Gradually drizzle remaining glaze over the top of the cake. A lot of the glaze will soak into the cake, and some will also drip down the sides.
  • Cool completely, then slice and serve!

RUM CAKE

Provided by Shiran

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 3/4 cups (245g) all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (35g) cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups (260g) granulated sugar (or 1/3 cup brown sugar plus 1 cup granulated sugar)
1/4 cup (60 ml) canola or vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1/2 cup (120 ml) heavy cream (or milk)
1/2 cup (120 ml) dark rum
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 stick (115g) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (60 ml) water
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
1/4 cup (60 ml) dark rum

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease well a 12-cup (10-inch) bundt pan and set aside.
  • To make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, oil, and sugar for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream (or milk), rum, and vanilla, and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
  • Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
  • While the cake is in the oven, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine butter, water, and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup forms. Turn off heat and mix in rum. Set aside until the cake is ready.
  • When the cake is out of the oven pour about half of the syrup gently and slowly over the cake. Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, then, run a knife gently around the edges of the cake, and remove cake from pan, carefully inverting it onto a plate. After inverting the cake, brush top and sides of the cake evenly with the rest of the syrup. Allow cake to cool to room temperature.
  • The cake is best served at room temperature. Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan with a 10-cup capacity to ensure the cake bakes evenly and has a beautiful presentation.
  • Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This will help the batter come together smoothly and prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake at the recommended temperature and time. Baking the cake for too long will dry it out.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly and prevent it from running off the cake.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months.

The Amber Rum Cake is a moist, flavorful cake that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is easy to make and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack, the Amber Rum Cake is sure to be a hit.
