How to Make Pumpkin Rum Baba Baba Au Rhum Thanksgiving Cake
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan generously, tapping out any excess flour.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 2 large eggs, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger. Beat at low speed until well combined.
- Gradually add 2 cups of your favorite yellow cake mix, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Gradually increase mixer speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- 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. The cake should be golden brown.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the rum sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup orange juice.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup dark rum and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Once the cake is completely cool, poke holes all over the cake using a wooden skewer or toothpick.
- Slowly pour the rum sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak in completely. You may need to repeat this process to ensure the cake is thoroughly saturated.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Rum Baba!
