Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 (18.25-oz.) box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4-oz.) box instant vanilla pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup dark rum

  • Sift the cake mix and pudding mix into a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Add in the eggs, water, oil, and rums and beat until fully incorporated. Pour batter over the coconut in the pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes out clean.

  • Use a skewer to poke holes all over the bottom of the cake while in the pan, then pour the glaze all over the cake while both are still hot. Be careful not to let it overflow the pan.
  • Let the cake cool and soak for at least 2 hours before removing from the pan. DO NOT refrigerate. After the cake has cooled, use a small rubber spatula to loosen it from the sides of the pan, then gently flip it onto a serving dish and remove it from the pan. Be patient and let gravity do it's thing, the cake is a little sticky and is slow to come out.
  • Once plated, leave plain, dust with powdered sugar, or top with icing and toasted coconut if desired.

My take on those boozy treats that weigh down suitcases returning from Jamaica, this moist cake packs a rum punch. You may wish to card your guests before serving. The longer the rum soaks in, the better-overnight is best. -Jenn Hall, Collingswood, New Jersey

COCONUT RUM CAKE



Coconut Rum Cake image

From Epicurious...Though the presentation of this cake- all white-glazed and topped with undulating ribbons of toasted coconut-will take everyone's breath away, we promise that it will only get better from there. (And the cake's rich, coconutty, rum-nipped flavor will never hint that it was a one-bowl effort.)

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, plus 3 large yolks
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup cream of coconut, well-stirred (such as Coco Lopez)
1 medium coconut
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons cream of coconut, well-stirred
2 tablespoons dark rum
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make cake:.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Lightly butter cake pan and line bottom with a round of parchment paper. Lightly butter parchment, then flour pan.
  • Whisk together flour (1 1/4 cups), baking powder, and salt.
  • Whisk together whole eggs and yolks, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in flour mixture until combined, then whisk in butter until just combined. Pour into cake pan and rap pan on counter to expel air bubbles.
  • Bake until golden brown and cake starts to pull away from side of pan, about 45 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Invert cake onto rack (discard parchment) and cool 10 minutes more. Generously brush top and side of warm cake with cream of coconut, allowing it to soak in before brushing on more. Cool completely.
  • Make coconut slivers as cake cools:.
  • Pierce softest eye of coconut with a small screwdriver, then drain and discard liquid. Bake coconut in a shallow baking pan 15 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Break shell with a hammer, then pry flesh from shell with screwdriver.
  • Thinly shave enough coconut with slicer to measure 2 cups and toss with confectioners sugar, then spread in 1 layer on a baking sheet. Bake until just dry but not golden (some tips may color), 5 to 10 minutes. (Shave and bake remaining coconut with more confectioners sugar to serve on the side, or freeze for another use.) Cool coconut completely. (It will crisp as it cools.).
  • Make icing:.
  • Beat together cream cheese, cream of coconut, rum, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons cream with an electric mixer until smooth, then beat in confectioners sugar. Icing should be smooth and slightly runny; stir in remaining tablespoon cream if necessary.
  • Smooth icing over top of cooled cake, allowing some to drip over side, then top with coconut slivers.
  • Cooks' notes: Cake can be baked 1 day ahead and soaked with cream of coconut, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
  • Cake can be iced 2 hours ahead.
  • Coconut slivers can be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes     Bundt Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

10 ounces (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup raisins
3/4 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 cup granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Soak raisins in 1/2 cup rum.
  • Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder; set aside. Put butter and brown sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; cream on medium speed until smooth. Mix in eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla. On low speed, mix in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with two additions of 6 tablespoons cream each (12 total). Mix in raisin mixture and coconut. Transfer batter to prepared pan; smooth top.
  • Bake, rotating about halfway through, until a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour 55 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 20 minutes. Run a thin knife around sides of cake; unmold. Let cool.
  • Heat granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over medium heat, gently stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved and syrup is clear. Cook, without stirring, until syrup comes to a boil, washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming. Let boil, gently swirling, until medium amber. Remove from heat. Carefully pour in remaining 1/4 cup rum and 2 tablespoons cream. Let cool, stirring, until thickened. Drizzle over cake.

Tips for Making the Best Coconut Rum Cake with Buttered Rum Glaze:

  • Use a good quality rum: The rum in the cake and glaze should be flavorful and smooth.
