Butter Rum Cake Recipe​

Ingredients:​

For the Cake:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup dark rum

For the Rum Syrup:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup dark rum

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons rum
• 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions:​

1. Preheat and Prep:Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan, making sure to get all those nooks and crannies.
2. Cream Butter and Sugar:In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add Eggs and Vanilla:Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
5. Alternate Mixing:Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Finally, stir in the dark rum.
6. Bake the Cake:Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack.
7. Prepare the Rum Syrup:While the cake is baking, make the rum syrup. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and water, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then remove from heat and stir in the dark rum.
8. Soak the Cake:Using a skewer, poke holes all over the warm cake. Slowly pour the rum syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake cool completely.
9. Make the Glaze:In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, rum, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
10. Serve and Enjoy:Slice up your beautiful Butter Rum Cake and enjoy the rich, buttery goodness with a hint of rum. Perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. Cheers to sweet treats and happy baking!

I hope you enjoy making and savoring this Butter Rum Cake! It's sure to be a hit at any gathering. Happy baking!

I think brushing the cake with a bit of additional rum after baking can make it extra moist and flavorful. It’s a nice touch!
