Rum Cakes

December 9, 2012 By Naomi Robinson | Bakers Royale 23 Comments

Let’s talk cakes today, to be specific boozy rum cakes. These are easy to make and great for giving. Make it as mini bundt cakes or as one large cake. Either way both ship well.

Rum Cake

And heads-up to all those that usually get a cookie box for me, guess what–I’m behind schedule this year. So yes, they are still coming, but I’m switching things up a bit with more than just cookies. Any guesses?

Yep, you’re looking at it.

For those of you that don’t know me, I had rum cake for the first time a few years ago by way of a co-worker. I instantly loved it and asked for the recipe with no success since she sold them.  So like a proper foodie, I saved a few slices so that I could compare it to the recipe testing I did on my own.

 

 

After four years and more than a dozen cakes, I’ve found my rum cake recipe. Hit the jump to Better Homes and Garden’s blog Delish Dish for my second favorite rum cake recipe and my tips for success when making this recipe.

Aftermath

For those of wondering what’s up with the above picture of dirty dishes, I started taking pictures of what I termed “Aftermath” to chronicle what I sometimes love more than the composed shots. I’m not sure exactly why, but I love these messy shots. They aren’t styled just everything piled in a tray for clean-up after shooting.

    I know it seems trivial, but your glaze looks perfect! Great way to use up the rum in the liquor closet 🙂

    Ha.. don’t feel so bad. I grew up in a “dry county” in the south where a rum cake was made with rum flavoring. Pretty icky. Imagine my surprise when I went to the Cayman Islands and had REAL rum cake. I even embarrassed myself by saying OUT LOUD, “this cake has rum on it!” My dining partners said, “uh, yeah.. it is RUM cake.” There is just no explaining rum flavoring after that experience. And seriously, there is no defense for rum flavoring.

    Libby-Serioulsy, no defense for rum flavoring. But somehow I feel like I must taste this crazy, aka. rum flavoring. 🙂

    I just LOVE that first photo with the slightly different textures on each cake. You are a styling + photographer magician! The messy shots are always great…agreed!

    I love to talk cake shop!

    Made the “boozy” version of the mini cakes using a light rum I acquired on a Belize trip some years ago. WOW, are these good! House mates are already asking when the next batch is scheduled to be made. Naomi, how do you get the pattern with the glaze? I’d love for my mini cakes to look as good as they taste!

  19. Joanna @ Chic & Gorgeous Treats says

    I am IN LOVE with your styling and photography. And those mini bundts are just precious. Would love a small bite of these decadent rum cake anytime. I agree with you, I am starting to love those messy shots, unplanned and spontaneous shots. I still have a long way more to go to get there though. Happy Holidays! Cheers, Jo

    Shanna- Thanks! As for props–well luckily, I’m not a clothes horse nor do I shop for anything else. 🙂

    I absolutely love your mini bundt moulds, Naomi. So cute. Could go for a rum cake (extra rum) right about now.

    I know it appears insignificant, but your glaze is flawless! Excellent way to use up the rum in the liquor cabinet.

Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we Shrimp and Corn Chowder ~ When things go crazy we go simple! Who else feels this? #ad Back to school has been off to a rocky start with mixed up carpool rides to missed days from being sick. Thankfully soups like this come together quickly and easily. All you need are just a handful of fresh ingredients and some pantry staples like @enjoyrealcoco Coconut Milk and @kettleandfire Bone Broth. Both of which are @TetraPakUSA  packaged. This means I can stock my pantry and not worry about rotating the food month-to-month. The aseptic packaging solution helps unopened food have a shelf life of six months or more without the need for refrigeration or preservatives. I’m telling you it’s the little things, like food packaging—something you don’t even think about most days, that ends up being the thing that can have the biggest impact sometimes! #ProtectsWhatsGood

Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumna Who’s ready to roll into fall with cozy, autumnal picnics? To kickstart the season, the kids and I are headed to the park to enjoy an Apple Spiced Cake and warm sips of Apple Cider sweetened with our favorite pantry staple, @truvia. #ad

Truvia Sweet Complete Sweeteners are zero-calorie and made with plant-based stevia sweetness. Whether you are using the All-Purpose, Brown, or Confectioners Sweetener, they measure cup-for-cup like sugar in your favorite seasonal baked goods! 

Apple Spiced Cake 
Serves 12 

3 cups (14 oz.) self-rising flour
1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 
3 eggs
1 cup (6.25 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose Sweetener 
1 cup (5.75 oz.) Truvia Sweet Complete Brown Sweetener 
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup vegetable oil 
1 1/2 cups (5.5 oz.) peeled and shredded granny smith apple, about 2 large

Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 10-12 cup bundt pan with non-stick spray. Set aside. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and cloves. Set aside.

In a second large bowl, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Add both the Truvia Sweet Complete Granulated All-Purpose and Brown Sweeteners, whisk until fully incorporated. Pour in buttermilk, vanilla extract, and vegetable oil, whisk until combined. 

Fold dry ingredients into the wet until smooth. Add the grated apples and fold until just combined. 

Pour batter in prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out free of wet batter. Transfer cake to a wire rack and let cool in the bundt pan for 20 minutes. Unmold cake and let cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, dust with Truvia Sweet Complete Confectioners Sweetener. Enjoy outside with a seasonal beverage!
