Cruzan Rum Cake Recipes

CRUZAN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Grease and flour a 10" tube pan, a 12-cup Bundt pan, or two mini-Bundt pans (mine has 6 wells which each hold 1 cup).
• Whisk together dry cake mix, dry pudding mix and cinnamon. In another bowl, whisk together milk, oil, rum, eggs, and almond extract. Pour wet ingredients into dry and whisk together until just incorporated; do not over mix. Fold in chocolate bits and optional nuts. Pour into pan, or divide evenly into mini-Bundt wells.
• Bake large cakes 55-65 minutes, mini-Bundts 35-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted halfway across comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then remove to a rack until completely cool.

EASY RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over the bottom of the pan.
• Mix together the cake mix, 1/2 cup dark rum, eggs, 1/2 cup water, oil, and vanilla pudding mix. Pour batter over the nuts in the pan.
• Bake for 1 hour. Cool, and invert cake on a serving plate. Prick the top of the cake.
• To Make The Glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in 1/8 cup water and the 1/2 cup sugar. Boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove glaze from heat, and stir in 1/4 cup rum. Drizzle and smooth evenly over the top and sides.

MARTHARAYDEEN'S CARIBBEAN RUM CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a large bundt pan with Pam. Then evenly sprinkle the chopped walnuts into bottom of pan.
• 2. Combine the first 6 ingredients and mix until it has a gravel/sand consistency (I used a food processor to combine it).
• 3. Add pudding mix, milk, eggs, rum, oil, and vanilla and combine on medium speed with electric mixer for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping the bowl halfway through. Pour mixture over nuts in bundt pan.
• 4. Bake at 325 degrees for 55 minutes, or until golden and toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake from the oven and place it on a cooling rack (do not remove from bundt pan).
• 5. Prepare the glaze by combining butter, water, and sugar in a pan and bring to boil. Stir constantly. Continue to boil for 3-5 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved and the liquid begins to thicken up. Remove glaze from heat and stir in the rum, continuing to stir. It will bubble up and be a little thinner than you think it should be, but this is ok, it will be great when you finish!
• 6. Pour the warm glaze, a little bit at a time, over the cooling cake inside the bundt pan. I poke a few holes in mine, to let the rum glaze soak through the cake. It will take a little time to get all of the syrup glaze poured over, but believe me, it's worth the time. When you've got all of the syrup glaze poured over the cake, let it cool to room temperature, then cover with foil or plastic wrap and place in the fridge overnight (keeping it in the bundt pan).
• 7. The next day, submerge the bundt pan bottom into a little warm water to warm the glaze (and unstick from the pan), then invert onto a cake platter.

GOLDEN RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sprinkle chopped nuts evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• 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. 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.
• To 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 1/2 cup rum.
