How to Make Triple Chocolate Rum Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water according to the cake mix instructions.
  3. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  6. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips over the top and gently swirl them into the batter.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup (1 stick) butter, ¼ cup dark rum, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  10. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  11. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, use a toothpick to poke holes all over the bottom.
  13. Slowly pour the glaze over the bottom of the cake, allowing it to soak in completely.
  14. Once the glaze has soaked in, dust the cake with powdered sugar.
  15. Serve with fresh raspberries and whipped cream.
