How to Make Pumpkin Raisin Rum Bundt Cake With Butter Rum Glaze

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
  2. Generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice, and 1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, beat 4 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  6. Beat in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until thoroughly combined.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk and 2 tablespoons dark rum.
  8. Add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients alternately to the pumpkin mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  9. Stir in 1 cup raisins (or chopped walnuts/pecans).
  10. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  11. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze:
  14. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons dark rum, and 2 tablespoons milk.
  15. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until smooth and glossy (about 3 minutes).
  16. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  17. Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake. Sprinkle with chopped nuts (optional).
