How to Make Amber Rum Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan or a 10-inch tube pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 4 large eggs, ½ cup apricot nectar, ½ cup rum (Bacardi Gold recommended), ½ cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup raisins.
  4. Blend well, then beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  8. While the cake cools, combine the remaining ½ cup apricot nectar and ½ cup granulated sugar in a saucepan.
  9. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  10. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ½ cup rum.
  11. Invert the cake onto a serving plate.
  12. Prick the top and sides of the cake with a fork or toothpick.
  13. Slowly pour and brush the warm syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  14. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
