Best 3 Martharaydeens Caribbean Rum Cake Recipes

MARTHARAYDEEN'S CARIBBEAN RUM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a large bundt pan with Pam. Then evenly sprinkle the chopped walnuts into bottom of pan.
• 2. Combine the first 6 ingredients and mix until it has a gravel/sand consistency (I used a food processor to combine it).
• 3. Add pudding mix, milk, eggs, rum, oil, and vanilla and combine on medium speed with electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway through. Pour mixture over nuts in bundt pan.
• 4. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes, or until golden and toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack (do not remove from bundt pan).
• 5. Prepare the glaze by combining butter, water, and sugar in a pan and bring to boil. Stir constantly. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid begins to thicken up. Remove glaze from heat and stir in the rum, continuing to stir. It will bubble up and be a little thinner than you think it should be, but this is ok, it will be great when you finish!
• 6. Pour the warm glaze, a little bit at a time, over the cooling cake inside the bundt pan. I poke a few holes in mine, to let the rum glaze soak through the cake. It will take a little time to get all of the syrup glaze poured over, but believe me, it's worth the time. When you've got all of the syrup glaze poured over the cake, let it cool to room temperature, then cover with foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight (keeping it in the bundt pan).
• 7. The next day, submerge the bundt pan bottom into a little warm water to warm the glaze (and unstick from the pan), then invert onto a cake platter.

RUM CAKE

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.
