How to Make Mrs Pischke's Rum Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all cake ingredients (see below) and beat on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until well combined and smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. While the cake bakes, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter.
  5. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
  6. Add 1 cup granulated sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. The glaze will thicken slightly.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup dark rum (or to taste).
  8. As soon as the cake is removed from the oven, carefully invert it onto a wire rack placed over a 9-inch pie plate to cool slightly (about 10-15 minutes).
  9. Once the cake is mostly cool, use a fork to poke holes all over the top, sides, and bottom.
  10. Slowly pour the warm rum glaze evenly over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely. Let cool completely before serving.
