Rum Cake

This Rum Cake is the ultimate party cake. With rum added to the batter and another 1/2 cup soaked into the baked cake, there’s a whole lot of rum flavor.

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 1 hour

Servings 18

Ingredients

Rum Syrup

baking spray

1 cup finely chopped walnuts

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

1 (3.4-ounce) box instant vanilla pudding mix

1/2 cup salted butter, cut into pieces

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup coconut oil

1/2 cup white or golden rum

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 cup salted butter

1/2 cup white rum

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/4 cup water

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with baking spray. Sprinkle walnuts into the bottom of the pan. Set aside.

2. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, mix together flour, sugar, pudding mix, butter, baking powder, and salt for 2 minutes.

3. Add milk, eggs, and coconut oil and mix on LOW for 2 minutes

4. Add rum and vanilla and mix on LOW for 1 more minute.

5. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool slightly while you make the Rum Syrup.

6. To make rum syrup, combine butter, rum, brown sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bringto a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer for about 5 minutes. Sugar should dissolve and syrupshould thicken just slightly.

7. Stir in vanilla extract.

8. Leave cake in Bundt pan and poke holes all over the top with a skewer or toothpick or a fork.Slowly pour glaze over top of cake. It will not all absorb into the cake right away. Let sit 30-45 minutes and invert cake onto a cake stand or plate. Store at room temperature.
