Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup dark rum
- ½ cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each one is incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk and rum. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the rum glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup of butter, 1 cup of sugar, and ¼ cup of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in ½ cup of dark rum.
- Once the cake is done baking, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate.
- While the cake is still warm, poke several holes in it using a toothpick and drizzle the rum glaze over the top, allowing it to soak in.
Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Enjoy the perfect blend of flavors that this Golden Rum Cake brings to your table. It’s a delightful dessert that brings a taste of celebration to any occasion.
