My mother and I tried many different types of rum cake to find the best one, and finally hit on this cake that doesn't dry out and imparts the most flavor. For a really moist cake, brush rum over the individual sponge cakes before topping them with the filling. -Dona M. Hoffman, Addison, Illinois

MINI RUM CAKES



Mini Rum Cakes image

I make these great little cakes for a special dinner I share all my recipes on different web sights and I get all kinds of comments on them

Provided by Patsy Fowler

Categories     Cakes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pkg duncan hines butter recipe cake mix
1 pkg (4 oz) vanilla instant pudding mix (5 oz is okay too)
1/2 c light rum
1/2 c water
1/2 c cooking oil
4 eggs
1 c chocolate chips (optional)
FOR THE GLAZE:
1 c sugar
1 stick butter
1 c rum

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325.
  • 2. Mix together cake mix, pudding mix, rum, oil and eggs. Pour batter into prepared tins. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes.
  • 3. To make the glaze: Combine the sugar, butter and rum in a saucepan.
  • 4. Heat and boil for 3 minutes. Set aside the glaze until the cakes is ready.
  • 5. When cakes are finished baking, allow to cool several minutes, then remove from tins.
  • 6. Transfer cakes into a wide dish with edges (such as a casserole dish).
  • 7. While the cakes are hot, poke holes in the top with a toothpick, then spoon the glaze over them slowly.
  • 8. (I like to do half of the glaze, wait a minute, then add the rest).
  • 9. After several hours, the cakes will absorb all of the glaze (you can flip them over after about 1 hour, so that they absorb the glaze more evenly).
  • 10. Notes: I used some of the batter to make a 8 inch round cake to.
  • 11. I sprinkled some chocolate chips on top to give it something extra. This took about 28 minutes to bake.

Tips:

  • Using a bundt or mini Bundt pan is recommended for creating the perfect shape and texture for your cakes.
  • Ensure the butter is at room temperature before using it for a better creaming process.
  • Mixing the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients helps prevent lumps.
  • Only mix the batter until the ingredients are just combined to avoid overmixing, which can result in a tough texture.
  • Use a toothpick to check the doneness of the cakes; when inserted into the center, it should come out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely before glazing them to prevent the glaze from becoming runny.
  • Store the glazed cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
