How to Make Eggnog Rum Bundt Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan (or spray with baking spray).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup eggnog to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Stir in 1/4 cup dark rum.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes; overbaking will result in a dry cake. Darker or heavier bundt pans may require shorter baking times.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup rum.
- Heat over low heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Once the cake is completely cool, place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to catch drips. Pour the glaze evenly over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Let the glaze set completely before serving.
