MOM'S FAMOUS RUM CAKE



Mom's Famous Rum Cake image

This classic rum cake recipe, built around a yellow cake mix, is a favorite of mushers and snowmobilers passing through the village of Tanana, Alaska, in the wintertime. It's hard to mess up, comes together quickly, fills out a (prepared) Bundt pan reliably and can be made on a whim with ingredients from the pantry. It travels well; keeps, covered, for several days; and pairs nicely with coffee and cold weather.

Provided by Julia O'Malley

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Butter or vegetable oil, for greasing the pan
1 cup/120 grams chopped walnuts or pecans
1 (roughly 16-ounce/450-gram) package yellow cake mix
1 (3.4-ounce/100-gram) package vanilla instant pudding mix
4 large eggs
1/2 cup/120 milliliters cold water
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
1/2 cup/120 milliliters rum (dark or light), preferably Bacardi
1/2 cup (1 stick/115 grams) unsalted butter
1 cup/200 grams sugar
1/2 cup/120 milliliters rum (dark or light)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch Bundt cake pan, scatter the nuts evenly into the bottom of the pan, and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil and rum. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cake comes out with just a few crumbs attached.
  • While the cake bakes, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • When the cake is done, remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Using a skewer or a fork, poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake, then brush the entire cake with the glaze, repeating until all the glaze is gone. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cake keeps (and improves, some say), wrapped and refrigerated, up to 3 days.

CARIBBEAN CHOCOLATE RUM CAKE



Caribbean Chocolate Rum Cake image

This Caribbean Chocolate Rum Cake is well balanced between the aromatic spices of the rum and decadent chocolate. It's finished with a boozy and chocolatey glaze where you can feel the sweet sensation from the rum.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup milk powder (instant dry milk)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup spiced rum (or rum of choice)
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup spiced rum (or rum of choice)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F. Lightly grease a 9-inch bundt cake pan, then dust the inside with a mixture of flour and cocoa powder. Turn the pan to coat it evenly and shake out any excess. Set aside.
  • In a small saucepan, stir the milk and chocolate chips over low heat until it is melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside and allow the chocolate mixture to cool (but not get cold).
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, milk powder, baking powder, and salt. Then slowly add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter and sugar. Beat all ingredients together while occasionally scraping the bowl until well combined. It will look sandy.
  • Pour the vegetable oil into the batter and mix. Then add the eggs one at a time. Continue to scrape the bowl. Next, slowly add the spiced rum and vanilla extract. Followed by the melted chocolate mixture. Continue to mix the batter until it is smooth with no lumps.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until you insert a cake tester and it comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan on a cooling rack.
  • In a small saucepan, mix together the butter, sugar, water, cocoa powder, and salt. Bring this to a quick boil. Then turn the heat down and simmer, frequently stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until the syrup has slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the spiced rum and vanilla extract.
  • While the cake is still inside the pan, poke holes into the bottom of the cake with a toothpick or skewer. Make sure you poke the holes at least 3/4 of the way down. Pour 1/4 of the rum syrup over the cake. Once the cake absorbs the syrup, pour more, but reserve some syrup for glazing the top. Invert the cake onto a rack. For easy cleanup, place a sheet of parchment paper underneath the rack. Pour the remaining syrup over the top of the cake. Note: you do not need to use all the syrup if you do not desire it.
  • Let the Chocolate Rum Cake sit for one hour before slicing and serving.
