How To Make spiced rum tipsy cake
-
1Preheat oven to 325. Spray bundt pan with bakers joy or grease and flour pan.
-
2Mix cake and pudding mixes, eggs, oil, water, rum, flavorings in bowl til well combined (about 2 minutes)
-
3Pour into prepared pan evenly.
-
4Bake for 45 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove cake to cooling rack.
-
5Using a fork, stab a bunch of holes in cake while on rack. Be stabby!
-
6For the Rum sauce: About 15 minutes before cake comes out, follow instructions below. Focus, keep kids and pets away. This sauce is hot, sticky and flammable. Burns will be severe. Be very careful!
-
7Melt butter on medium, medium-high heat
-
8Add sugar, water and bring to a boil stirring constantly. (Your arm will be tired)
-
9Once boiling, allow to boil for 4 to 5 minutes, continuing to stir constantly. Mix will be frothy, bubbly.
-
10After 4 to 5 minutes, remove from heat and while stirring slowly add rum (it may bubble up more, be careful.)
-
11Return to heat for about 1 minute with stirring to burn off strong alcohol taste), remove from heat, add salt (I used salted butter so I didn't add more salt)
-
12Pour into liquid measuring cup ( should have about 2 cups of sauce I use a 1 cup glass one, a cup at a time)
-
13Pour 1 cup of sauce into bottom of cake while in pan. Allow to set 30 to 60 minutes to absorb.
-
14Set cake plate over cake pan and invert. Cake should come out easily. Use a cake plate with a lip to keep rest of sauce from going everywhere.
-
15Stab holes all over cake again on plate. Top, sides, and middle. Pour rest of sauce over cake.
-
16Allow to rest 1 to 2 hours to absorb before cutting and serving
