Best 7 Rum Glazed Pineapple Coffee Cake Recipes

PINEAPPLE RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. and prepare a 10-inch bundt pan by generously spraying it with a floured baking spray. You can also generously butter it and sprinkle with flour.
• Drain pineapple tidbits in a colander placed over a medium bowl to reserve the juice.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix and instant vanilla pudding mix.
• Place the pineapple into a small bowl and toss with two tablespoons of the cake/pudding mixture. Coat completely.
• Into the cake mix, add the eggs, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, canola oil, and 1/2 cup of rum. Mix completely.
• With a rubber spatula, fold in the coated pineapple tidbits.
• Gently pour batter into pan and bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the middle comes out clean.
• Into a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and add 1/2 cup of dark rum. Mix well.
• Remove cake from oven and let sit for 5 minutes.
• While still in the pan, poke holes with a skewer all the way around the bottom of the cake. Using 1/3 of the glaze, gently brush the bottom of the cake, allowing the glaze to soak into it.
• Let cake sit for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a cooling rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet.
• Gently brush the remainder of the glaze all over the cake, pausing at times to give the cake time to absorb it. Using two hard spatulas, slowly and gently transfer the cake to a serving plate. Cool completely.
• If serving the next day, cover top with toothpicks and gently cover with a tent of aluminum foil when completely cooled.
• Cake can be frozen for up to a month. Cool completely, wrap in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil.

PINEAPPLE UPSIDE-DOWN RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish, melt butter in oven. Sprinkle brown sugar evenly over butter. Arrange pineapple slices in 4 rows by 3 rows. Place 1 cherry in center of each pineapple slice.
• In large bowl, beat cake mix, reserved 1 cup pineapple juice, the oil and eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter over pineapple slices.
• Bake 28 to 33 minutes or until golden brown and cake springs back when lightly touched in center. Run knife around edges of baking dish to loosen cake. Cool 5 minutes.
• Place heatproof serving plate upside down on baking dish; turn plate and dish over. Remove dish. Brush or drizzle rum over cake. Cut into 4 rows by 3 rows, so each serving has a slice of pineapple on top. Serve warm.

PINEAPPLE & RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the pineapple onto a non-stick baking tray and roast for 20 mins - this concentrates the flavour. Leave the pineapple to cool before roughly chopping into smaller chunks.
• Melt the chocolate in a microwave or in a saucepan set over simmering water, then tip onto a piece of baking parchment and spread it out in a thick layer. Leave to set.
• Butter a 20 x 30cm baking tin and line with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy. Add the five spice, milk and rum, and mix together. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding the flour in three batches between the eggs, and fold in the pineapple. Scrape the cake mixture into the baking tin and bake for 20 mins, or until just cooked through and lightly browned. Leave in the tin for 10 mins, then lift out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cut the cake in half widthways. Beat the butter for the icing until soft, then stir in the icing sugar, followed by the lime juice. You should end up with a soft, spreadable buttercream. Add a little more icing sugar if it's too soft.
• For the meringue, put the sugar, 65ml water and the glucose in a heavy pan on a medium heat and stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, and use a sugar thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature. Put the egg whites in a stand mixer and whisk over a medium speed. When the temperature of the syrup reaches 118C, steadily pour it in a thin stream into the stiff egg whites, and continue whisking until completely cold. Scoop the meringue into a piping bag fitted with a plain round nozzle. Can be made up to three days in advance and kept in the fridge.
• Put one half of the cake on a flat ovenproof serving plate or baking sheet. Spread a little of the icing over the cake and sandwich the other half on top. Now, imagine you are looking down onto a pineapple that is lying down and cut each corner off the cake to make it look like a barrel - a bread knife works best here. Trim off the sharp top edges to round the top, then coat the cake with a thin layer of the remaining icing
• Pipe dots of meringue all over the cake so it looks like a pineapple. Brown the meringue with a blowtorch or put it in an oven, turned up as high as it will go, and keep an eye on it until it starts to brown. Cool completely. Cut the cooled chocolate into shards about 5-10cm long, and push them into one end of the cake so they look like pineapple leaves.

RUM-GLAZED GRILLED PINEAPPLE WITH LIME CRèME FRAîCHE

Steps:

• Heat the rum in a small pan over a low heat with 50ml water and stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Turn the heat up to medium and bring to the boil. Boil for 2-3 mins until the mixture thickens slightly. Remove from the heat. Stir in the spices. Mix the crème fraîche with the lime zest and juice in a separate bowl.
• Arrange the coals on one side of the barbecue and light (or see tip below for cooking indoors). When the flames have died down and the coals are ashen, lay the pineapple wedges over the coals. Cook for 2-3 mins until char marks appear, then turn over.
• Brush the pineapple wedges with the rum syrup and cook for 10 mins more, moving them around the grill using tongs so they don't burn. When ready, they will be golden and soft. Remove from the barbecue, sprinkle with the chilli, if using, and serve with the lime crème fraîche.

PINEAPPLE RUM CAKE

• 1. Preheat oven to 325. Spray 5 mini loaf pans with Baker's Joy. (can also be made in a Bundt pan or 2 loaf pans)
• 2. Beat first 6 ingredients together (cake mix through rum), beating well for 2 minutes and scraping down the sides as you go. Stir in pecans by hand. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 325 for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 300 and bake for 25 more minutes or until lightly browned and start to pull away from sides of pans. Allow to cool on wire rack while you cook the glaze.
• 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in pineapple juice and sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove pan from heat and allow to cool for about 5 minutes then stir in the rum.Poke holes in the top of the cakes using an ice pick or chopstick.

• 4. Let cakes stay in the pan until cool then remove from pans and wrap with plastic wrap and put in Ziploc bags. These are better the 2nd and 3rd day after they are baked and do not need to be refrigerated.

• Bake in the preheated oven until cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, invert onto a plate, and cool for 10 minutes. Poke holes on the top of the cake using a wooden skewer.
• While cake cools, combine 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan for glaze. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup rum.
• Pour 1/2 of glaze in the bottom of the Bundt® pan, carefully reinvert the cake back into the pan on top of the glaze. Drizzle remaining glaze onto the bottom of the cake; let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb glaze. Invert cake onto a cake platter.
