As Seen On

Rum cakes are synonymous with the Caribbean. No one knows the exact history of rum cake, but it is believed to have been invented in the 18th century when British colonists came to the islands. The British brought desserts like fruit puddings, which are believed to be rum cake's predecessors. Nevertheless, rum cake is a delicious, moist cake that is a holiday staple throughout the Caribbean.
To jazz up this old tradition, we decided to use coconut rum to turn it into a Coconut Rum Cake. The cake is made with coconut milk, sour cream, coconut rum, butter, sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, eggs, egg yolks, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. First, it is baked in a Bundt pan until golden brown. Then holes are poked into the cake to help it absorb the buttery coconut rum sauce. Next, it is soaked in the coconut rum sauce to create the perfect moist, soft cake loaded with the coconut rum flavor. Another cake recipe in a bundt pan that you might want to try is the Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake.

Can rum cake get you drunk?

You will not likely get drunk off of one slice of rum cake. Although the rum cake batter contains rum, the alcohol burns off while baking in the oven. Therefore, the remaining alcohol in the sauce is not enough to get you drunk, even if you eat several slices of rum cake. However, you might feel slightly buzzed after eating a lot of rum cake.

Do you refrigerate rum cake?

You don't necessarily have to put rum cake in the fridge. The rum cake will last at room temperature for a few days. However, if you want it to last longer, storing the rum cake in the fridge may be best.

How long can rum cake sit out?

Rum cake will last at room temperature in an airtight container for five days.

Why does my rum cake stick to the pan?

Your rum cake may have stuck to the pan because you used butter to grease the pan. Butter contains milk solids which create a glue, causing the cake batter to stick to the pan. It's best to grease your bundt pan with non-stick oil spray or melted shortening.
