Time 2h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
salt, a pinch
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
1/2 cup dark rum
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1 cup heavy whipping cream
5 ounces butter
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup banana liqueur
3/4 cup sugar
powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Make the cake: sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar; add vanilla and eggs; beat until blended.
  • Beat in the lemon peel and then add in the rum and banana liqueur.
  • Gradually add the flour, alternating with the cream.
  • Blend mixture until just combined.
  • Pour batter into a well-greased and floured bundt pan; bake approximately 1 hour or until cake tests done.
  • Make the syrup: melt the butter in a 2-quart saucepan.
  • Add rum, banana liqueur, and sugar.
  • Slowly bring to a rolling boil; decrease heat to medium and cook until it reduces somewhat, 10-15 minutes; do not overcook.
  • Let cool.
  • Remove cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack.
  • Use a skewer and poke holes all over the cake; spoon the syrup evenly over the cake.
  • Let stand for 30 minutes, so that the syrup soaks inches.
  • Finally, carefully turn the cake over onto a serving plate; dust with powdered sugar.

The cake was good, but it wasn't as moist as I expected. I think I might have overbaked it.

This cake was way too sweet for me. I had to cut back on the sugar in the glaze to make it more palatable.

I wasn't a big fan of the rum flavor in this cake. I think it would be better with a different flavoring, like vanilla or chocolate.

The cake was a little dry, but the glaze helped to add some moisture. Overall, it was a good cake.
