Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.75 cups Whole milk
• 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Dark rum
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter (for glaze)
• 1 cups Granulated sugar (for glaze)
• 0.25 cups Dark rum (for glaze)
• 0.25 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and grease a bundt pan with butter or nonstick spray. Lightly dust with flour and tap out the excess.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

On low speed, mix in the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk in two additions, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Step 6

Mix in the vanilla extract and rum until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cake bakes, prepare the rum glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter, sugar, rum, water, and vanilla. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is bubbling and the sugar has dissolved completely. Remove from heat.

Step 10

When the cake is done baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, poke holes all over the cake with a skewer or toothpick.

Step 11

Slowly pour half of the rum glaze over the cake in the pan, allowing it to soak in completely.

Step 12

Carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate and brush the remaining glaze over the top and sides of the cake.

Step 13

Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. Slice and enjoy the rich, buttery rum flavor!
