Easy Rum Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of dark rum
1 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup of unsalted butter
1 cup of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of dark rum
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a bundt cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant vanilla pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and dark rum. Beat the mixture until well combined and smooth.
If desired, fold in the chopped pecans or walnuts to add a delightful crunch to your cake.
Pour the batter into the greased bundt cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for approximately 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the rum glaze by melting the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar and water to the saucepan, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully stir in the dark rum. Be cautious as the mixture may bubble up.
Once the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Using a skewer or a toothpick, poke several holes into the top of the cake.
Pour the rum glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to soak into the holes and drizzle down the sides.
Let the cake cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
Serve slices of this delectable rum cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent dessert experience.
This easy rum cake recipe is a guaranteed hit, and it’s perfect for any occasion. Its moist and boozy nature will make it a favorite among family and friends. So, give it a try and let us know how it turns out for you. Happy baking!
