Best Rum And Coke Cake Recipes

RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease well a 12-cup (10-inch) bundt pan and set aside.
• To make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, oil, and sugar for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream (or milk), rum, and vanilla, and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
• While the cake is in the oven, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine butter, water, and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup forms. Turn off heat and mix in rum. Set aside until the cake is ready.
• When the cake is out of the oven pour about half of the syrup gently and slowly over the cake. Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, then, run a knife gently around the edges of the cake, and remove cake from pan, carefully inverting it onto a plate. After inverting the cake, brush top and sides of the cake evenly with the rest of the syrup. Allow cake to cool to room temperature.
• The cake is best served at room temperature. Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.

• Bake about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium-low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium; gradually beat in rum and vanilla until fluffy. Pipe or spread frosting on cupcakes.

• In large bowl, beat butter with electric mixer on low speed 1 to 2 minutes or until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition. Add rum and rum extract. Continue beating until frosting is smooth and spreadable.

RUM AND COKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Liberally grease and lightly flour a standard Bundt pan.
• Beat the eggs with an electric mixer; gradually add the softened butter and the sugar and beat until creamy.
• Beat in the Coca-Cola, rum, vanilla, and milk (note--use only fresh, bubbly Coke, not flat Coke, as called for in some recipes; the bubbles actually make a honeycomb effect in the finished cake).
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, beating constantly until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan; bake 45-60 minutes, or until the cake tests done.
• Let the cake cook slightly; use a knife to work around the sides and center of the cake, and then invert the cake on a serving platter.
• The sauce: while the cake is baking, make the sauce--bring the Coca-Cola, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan; continue cooking at med-high heat, stirring, until the syrup thickens.
• Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the butter and the rum.
• Serve the cake warm, spooning plenty of sauce over each individual serving.
• *Can double the sauce, if you want.

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.
