Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup dark rum
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the batter alternately with the milk.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  7. While the cake is baking, prepare the rum syrup by mixing the dark rum and powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the syrup is slightly thickened.
  8. Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, invert it onto a wire rack.
  9. Poke holes all over the cake with a skewer, then slowly drizzle the rum syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
  10. Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
