Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter for the cake to control the amount of salt.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy to incorporate air into the mixture and create a smooth, even texture.
  • Add eggs one at a time to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Measure the flour correctly to avoid a dry or dense cake. Use a kitchen scale for the most accurate measurements.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing it. This will prevent the glaze from absorbing into the cake and becoming runny.
  • For a boozy glaze, use a high-quality dark rum. A good rum will enhance the flavor of the cake.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. The baking time may need to be adjusted.

Conclusion:

The butter rum pound cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a delicious glaze that complements the cake perfectly. The cake is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can create a perfect butter rum pound cake that will be the star of any party or gathering.
