GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED RUM CAKE



Grandma's Old-Fashioned Rum Cake image

This easy Rum Cake starts with a box of cake mix and is soaked in a rich, butter-rum glaze. The perfect holiday dessert!

Provided by Blair Lonergan

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!

MOM'S FAMOUS RUM CAKE



Mom's Famous Rum Cake image

This classic rum cake recipe, built around a yellow cake mix, is a favorite of mushers and snowmobilers passing through the village of Tanana, Alaska, in the wintertime. It's hard to mess up, comes together quickly, fills out a (prepared) Bundt pan reliably and can be made on a whim with ingredients from the pantry. It travels well; keeps, covered, for several days; and pairs nicely with coffee and cold weather.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter or vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
1 cup/120 grams chopped walnuts or pecans
1 (roughly 16-ounce/450-gram) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4-ounce/100-gram) package vanilla instant pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup/120 milliliters cold water
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
1/2 cup/120 milliliters rum (dark or light), preferably Bacardi
1/2 cup (1 stick/115 grams) unsalted butter
1 cup/200 grams sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters rum (dark or light)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch Bundt cake pan, scatter the nuts evenly into the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and rum. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
  • While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake, then brush the entire cake with the glaze, repeating until all the glaze is gone. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cake keeps (and improves, some say), wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 days.
