How to Make Pirates Golden Treasure Cake

  1. **Spice Cake:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine: 1 box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix, 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
  3. Add 4 large eggs, 1 cup sour cream, 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil. Beat for 2 minutes until well combined. Stir in 1 cup raisins.
  4. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and spread evenly.
  5. Bake for 38-43 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Check at the 35-minute mark.
  6. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. **Golden Peaches in Rum Sauce:** While cake bakes, prepare the sauce. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  8. Add 1/2 cup reserved peach juice (from a 20 oz can of sliced peaches), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  10. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Can be served warm or at room temperature.
  11. **To Serve:** Slice the cake, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional), and generously drizzle with the golden peach rum sauce.
