Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the cake mix, instant vanilla pudding, eggs, rum, water, and oil well until smooth.
- Pour the batter into a greased Bundt pan.
- Bake at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before removing from the pan and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added moisture and flavor, consider substituting the water with an equal amount of buttermilk. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, use rum extract instead of rum. Ensure your Bundt pan is well-greased to prevent sticking. For a twist, you can add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter. To elevate the cake, serve it with a drizzle of warm Cinnamon Spread.
Serving Suggestions
This rum cake is delightful on its own, but you can enhance the experience by serving it with freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a festive touch, consider serving it alongside Quick Heavenly Hash for a contrasting flavor and texture.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover rum cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want to keep it fresh longer, refrigerate it for up to a week. When ready to serve, let it come to room temperature, or gently reheat in the microwave for a few seconds to enjoy its moist texture.
