Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 box butter golden cake mix
1 small box vanilla pudding ((3.5 ounces))
½ cup rum
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
3/4 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water
½ cup butter
¼ cup rum

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • To prepare the pan, grease and flour a 10" bundt cake pan. Sprinkle the chopped walnuts in the prepared pan.
  • Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, rum, water and oil. Beat well.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  • Bake for 60 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan over medium low heat, mix together the sugar, water and butter. Bring this to a low boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the rum. (If you'd like to cook the rum, you can! That will remove a very slight amount of the alcohol.)
  • Prick the top of the cake with a fork and while the cake is still in the pan, pour the glaze over the cake. Give it at least 30 minutes to sink into the cake.
  • Turn the cake out onto a plate to cool completely.
  • This cake is best when it has time to sit. Store it in an airtight container and serve it the next day.

Categories     Dessert

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup finely-chopped pecans
1 (15.25 oz) box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding mix
¼ cup rum
½ cup water
½ cup vegetable oil
4 eggs, at room temperature
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ cup rum
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  • Sprinkle nuts in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, rum, water, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  • Pour the batter over the nuts in the pan.
  • Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • About 10 minutes before the cake is done, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Leave the hot cake in the pan and use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke holes in the bottom of the cake. Slowly drizzle about half of the glaze over the bottom of the cake, allowing time for the glaze to soak into the holes and be absorbed by the hot cake.
  • Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips. After about 10 minutes in the pan, turn the cake out onto the wire rack (right-side up). Poke holes on the top of the cake. Gradually drizzle remaining glaze over the top of the cake. A lot of the glaze will soak into the cake, and some will also drip down the sides.
  • Cool completely, then slice and serve!

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

vegetable cooking spray, for misting the pan
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans (optional)
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package of regular yellow cake mix
1/4 cup half of a 3 . 4 ounce package vanilla instant pudding mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup Bacardi dark rum (other brands of dark rum will work also)
1/4 cup water
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tablespoons Bacardi dark rum

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake pan by misting with vegetable oil and placing pecans in bottom of bundt pan if desired. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place cake mix, pudding mix, sour cream, oil, 1.3 cup of rum, water, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and beat with electric mixer on low speed until the ingredients are just incorporated (about 30 seconds). Stop mixing and scrape down the sides of the bowl with rubber spatula.
  • Increase the speed of the machine to medium and beat the batter until smooth (1 1/2 to 2 minutes longer).
  • Pour batter into prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Place cake in oven and bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed with finger. Approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
  • While the cake is baking, make the buttered rum glaze. Place butter in small sauce pan over low heat and stir until melted. Add the brown sugar and 3 tbsp of rum and stir to combine. Cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils and thickens (approx 3 minutes). Remove from heat and let the glaze cool.
  • Transfer the Bundt pan to a wire rack and let cake cook for 10 minutes. The gently shake the pan and invert it on a wire rack to cool. Let cool. Cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Using wooden skewers ( I use toothpicks), poke a dozen holes in the top of the cake and very slowly pour over warm cake so that the glaze can soak into the cake.
  • Store this cake in a cake saver at room temp for up to 3 days. Freeze unglazed cake for up to 3 months. Let cake thaw overnight on countertop before glazing.

Tips:

  • Use a bundt pan with a capacity of at least 10 cups to ensure the cake bakes evenly.
  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before starting to bake. This will help the cake batter mix together smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This step incorporates air into the batter, which will help the cake rise.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for the specified time, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum in the glaze.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can also bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This classic rum cake with butter rum glaze is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, flavorful crumb and rich, boozy glaze, this cake is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
