Number Of Ingredients 15

FOR THE CAKE:
1 c butter, softened
2 c sugar
4 large eggs
3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c buttermilk
2 tsp vanilla extract
BUTTERED RUM SAUCE
1 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1/4 c water
1/4 to 1/2 c light rum

Steps:

  • 1. For the Cake: Beat the butter at medium speed of an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until light and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating at medium speed for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • 2. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until the yellow disappears.
  • 3. Combine the flour and next 3 ingredients; add to the creamed mixture alternately with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix at low speed just until blended after each addition. Stir in the vanilla
  • 4. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 12 cup Bundt or 10 inch Tube pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cook in the pan on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the pan. Let cool completely on the wire rack.
  • 5. Return the cake to the pan. Prick the surface of the cake at 1-inch intervals with a wooden pick. Pour 1 cup of the buttered rum sauce over the cake. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from the pan, and place on a serving plate. Garnish, if desired, with fresh sliced strawberries. Pour the remaining 1/3 cup buttered rum sauce over the cake and strawberries.
  • 7. For the Buttered Rum Sauce: Combine the first 3 ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat. Stir in the rum.
