HOLIDAY PUMPKIN CAKE WITH RUM-CREAM CHEESE GLAZE



Holiday Pumpkin Cake with Rum-Cream Cheese Glaze image

This cake is a huge hit with my family during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. It's very moist and just melts in your mouth. It's a yummy alternative to traditional pumpkin pie. This cake is good as is, or sprinkled with powdered sugar. It is especially tasty with a good glaze drizzled on top. The glaze that my family likes best is made with cream cheese and a little bit of rum.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups self-rising flour
3 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup melted butter
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups unsweetened canned pumpkin puree
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (4 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 tablespoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • Sift the self-rising flour and pumpkin pie spice together into a bowl. In another mixing bowl, beat the white and brown sugars, vegetable oil, melted butter, applesauce, vanilla, pumpkin, and eggs together until smooth.
  • Gradually beat the flour mixture into the pumpkin mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, until completely smooth and well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 60 minutes. Cover cake with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning, and bake until a wooden skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes longer. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for about half an hour.
  • To unmold the cake, tap the bottom of the Bundt pan on the counter or work surface to help release it. Invert the cake on a serving plate and allow it to cool completely before glazing.
  • To make the glaze, mix the cream cheese with the butter, confectioners' sugar, rum extract, and milk in a bowl. Heat in a microwave oven for 15 seconds. Drizzle spoonfuls over the cooled cake. Keep cake refrigerated after serving.

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 cups sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon maple extract
2 large eggs
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
2 cups pumpkin puree
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving
3/4 cup boiling water
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup spiced rum
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Maple Whipped Cream, recipe follows, for serving
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon maple syrup

Steps:

  • For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan, shaking out the excess flour.
  • Stir together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Whisk together the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and maple extracts and eggs in a separate bowl. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice until well combined. Next, add the boiling water and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients and whisk together until the flour is just mixed in. Slowly add the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
  • For the rum syrup: Meanwhile, in a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar and 2 tablespoons water and bring to a boil; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the heat. Slowly and carefully, pour in the rum while stirring. Then stir in the vanilla. Set aside.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully, invert the cake onto a rack over a baking sheet. Poke the top and sides of the cake all over with a wooden skewer.
  • Pour half of the syrup into the base of the bundt pan. Gently return the cake to the pan. Using the same skewer, poke the bottom of the cake. Pour the remaining syrup over the cake and around the edges of the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely and soak up the syrup in the bundt pan, about 1 hour.
  • Once cooled, invert onto a serving platter. Slice and serve each piece with a dollop of Maple Whipped Cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
  • Add the cream and maple syrup to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use.

PUMPKIN BUNDT CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GLAZE



Pumpkin Bundt Cake With Chocolate Glaze image

This is a recipe I used to make before being diagnosed diabetic. I don't think it can be re-vamped with Splenda and still be as good, so I'll make it for really special times, when I have been really good at watching the carbs! UPDATE: I changed the amounts of spices in this. I usually add more than called for and two reviewers thought it needed more. If it sounds TOO spicy for you, cut the amounts in half.

PUMPKIN RAISIN RUM BUNDT CAKE WITH BUTTER RUM GLAZE



Pumpkin Raisin Rum Bundt Cake With Butter Rum Glaze image

Taken from my "Pumpkin Favorites" folder. Chopped walnuts or pecans can be substituted for the raisins if desired, and also sprinkled on top of the cake after glazing. If you don't want to use the glaze, a sprinkle of powdered sugar works just as well. This is a rich moist dense cake that is full of flavor, and only gets better with time!

Tips:

  • Use the right pumpkin: For the best flavor, use fresh pumpkin purée. If you're using canned pumpkin, make sure it's 100% pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a bundt pan with a nonstick coating: This will help the cake to release easily from the pan.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature: The cake will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This pumpkin bundt cake with rum glaze is a delicious and festive fall dessert. It's perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or any other special occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a perfectly spiced rum glaze. It's sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
