RUM CAKE - SEMI-HOMEMAKER RECIPE

Steps:

• For the cake: Grease a Bundt pan and spread pecans on the bottom of the pan. Beat eggs, oil, water and rum in mixer just until incorporated. Add pudding mix and cake mix and beat on med, about 3 to 5 minutes just until you get a smooth texture. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. The cake should have a light golden brown color, but will darken with the glaze.
• For the glaze: Melt butter in saucepan and add the sugar and water, bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, take off the heat and add the rum. Pour into a large measuring cup that will hold that amount or more. Set aside.
• Once cake is ready, take out of oven and leave in pan. Gently prick holes into the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour half of the glaze over the cake making sure to fill in all the holes. Once the cake has soaked up the glaze, turn cake over, removing pan, onto the base that the cake will stay on. Gently prick more holes on other side and slowly pour other half of glaze over cake. Fill the center of the cake with reserved pecans. Let cool and enjoy. The cake is best if left at room temperature.

GRANDMA'S OLD-FASHIONED RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
• Sprinkle nuts in the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, rum, water, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
• Pour the batter over the nuts in the pan.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• About 10 minutes before the cake is done, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, rum and water. Boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
• Leave the hot cake in the pan and use a toothpick or wooden skewer to poke holes in the bottom of the cake. Slowly drizzle about half of the glaze over the bottom of the cake, allowing time for the glaze to soak into the holes and be absorbed by the hot cake.
• Place a wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet to catch drips. After about 10 minutes in the pan, turn the cake out onto the wire rack (right-side up). Poke holes on the top of the cake. Gradually drizzle remaining glaze over the top of the cake. A lot of the glaze will soak into the cake, and some will also drip down the sides.
• Cool completely, then slice and serve!

RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Place the raisin and prunes in a medium sized pot, pour in the rum to cover and bring to a boil for 1 minute over medium high heat.Turn stove off, cover pot and remove from heat. Set aside.When the fruit has absorbed most of the liquid and has cooled almost to room temperature, purée it in a blender until it's smooth, fruity, and the rum is fragrant.Preheat the oven to 350°F.Fill a baking pan halfway with water and place it on the bottom shelf in the oven. You need to do this to create steam so that your cake comes out super moist.Butter a 9x3-inch round cake pan with a bit of butter, then line it with parchment paper and butter the parchment too.Dust the parchment paper lightly with flour, tapping out any excess. Set aside.In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and fresh ground nutmeg. Set aside.In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the unsalted butter with the brown sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy and light, about 3 to 5 minutes.Lower the speed and add the eggs, one at a time, until they're fully incorporated. Stop the mixer and scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl.Add the vanilla, molasses, and 1 cup of the blended fruit to the mixture and mix just until they're combined. The extra blended fruit can be placed in the fridge for future use. It will keep for several months.With the mixer on low, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, in small increments. Finish by incorporating the final bit of flour mixture into the batter with a stiff rubber spatula.Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake until the top is dark brown, 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a cake tester comes out clean.Remove the cake pan to a cooling rack, wait for 5 minutes, and then flip the cake down onto another cooling rack, carefully remove the pan and the parchment paper. Place the extra 1/4 rum in a spray bottle and spray the entire cake, including sides. Allow the cake to cool completely.Once cooled, flip the cake right side up on the rack and spray the entire cake once again with extra rum.Wrap cake in wax or parchment paper and then tightly in plastic wrap.Notes:The beauty of this cake is that it will keep at room temperature, for up to 3 weeks. Just spray it with rum ever so often to keep it punched with rum flavour.When serving, sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar and garnish with pomegranate seeds and sliced oranges.If you're ever in a pinch to get your eggs to room temperature quickly, simply place your eggs in a bowl and cover with hot tap water for 5 minutes.If you've reached for your brown sugar and have found that it has hardened over time, do not throw out. Simply place a couple slices of any type of bread in the bag or container, seal and leave overnight. Your sugar will return to its normal state.*Grace Browning Caramel, a product of Jamaica, is used to enhance the color of this cake, hence the name Black Cake.Source: From Carleen in Markham

GOLDEN RUM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan, if using. In a large bowl, combine cake mix and pudding mix. Mix in the eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil and 1/2 cup rum. Blend well. Pour batter over chopped nuts in the pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. About 5 minutes before the cake is done, make the glaze. In a saucepan, combine butter, 1/4 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat and continue to boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in desired amount of rum (1/4-1/2 cup). While cake is still hot use a skewer to poke holes all over the top of the cake (which will become the bottom). Brush on glaze allowing some of it to soak down the sides, between the cake and the pan. Let sit for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto serving plate. Brush glaze over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze and repeat until all glaze is used, this may take up to 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely before serving. Tastes best on day 2, so make it a day in advance if possible. Store any uneaten cake in an airtight container at room temperature.
