How to Make Spice Rum Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) spice cake mix, 1/2 cup milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup rum, 3 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Beat on low speed until just moistened.
  4. Turn to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
  8. Invert the cake onto the wire rack and let it cool completely.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 2 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted margarine, and 1 tablespoon rum.
  10. If the glaze is too thick, add 1/2 teaspoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
