Number Of Ingredients 24

FRUIT FILLING:
1 1/2 c papayas, diced
1 c golden raisins
2 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c rum
4 Tbsp butter
3/4 c brown sugar
CAKE MIX:
1 c all-purpose flour
1 c cake flour
1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
5 tsp baking powder
1/2 c butter, diced
4 eggs
1/2 c sour cream
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/4 c vegetable oil
1 lemon, zest only
1 c sweetened flaked coconut
RUM GLAZE:
1/2 c butter, melted
1 c granulated sugar
1/2 c rum

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine the diced papaya, raisins and lemon juice. Add 1/2 cup rum and allow to soak for half an hour.
  • 2. Spray a large 12 cup bundt pan with cooking spray and add 4 tbs melted butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar to the bottom of the pan.
  • 3. With a tablespoon strain 5 heaping tbs of the fruit mixture and add to the sugar mixture in the bottom of the pan.
  • 4. In an electric mixer blend flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and diced butter on low speed. When blended continue mixing and add the 4 eggs one at a time. Follow with the sour cream, vanilla and oil.
  • 5. Add the remaining fruit mixture (including the liquid), the lemon zest and coconut and blend well.
  • 6. Pour the batter into the bundt pan and bake in a preheated oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
  • 7. Check for doneness with a wooden pick. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  • 8. For the glaze: In a small pan on the stove, mix butter, brown sugar and rum and bring just to a boil.
  • 9. Spoon the glaze onto the cake until it is completely absorbed. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit overnight.
  • 10. Before turning out the cake onto a serving platter, warm it in a 325 degree oven for 10 minutes to loosen the sugar mixture at the bottom of the pan. The cake will be very delicate.

I love the unique flavor of this cake. It's unlike any other rum cake I've ever had. I'll definitely be making it again for my next party.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I might have used too much flour. Next time I'll try using a little less flour and see if that makes a difference.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. Next time I'll try baking it for a shorter amount of time.

I'm not a fan of rum, so I substituted it with orange juice. The cake still turned out great and everyone loved it.

I had some trouble finding papaya, but I eventually found some at a local specialty grocery store. The cake turned out great and was worth the effort of finding the papaya.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good recipe. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
