BUTTERSCOTCH RUM CAKE YAHOO! WOOT WOOT! I just found ANOTHER fabulous cake recipe that meets all my stringent requirements... - EASY - COMMON INGREDIENTS - AFFORDABLE Got this from a favorite website (I'm a member there, actually), called JUST A PINCH RECIPE CLUB. Check them out! They have the greatest "hometown" recipes, good ideas & coupons, plus their website has terrific old-fashioned graphics and even some sound effects! Love those guys! So here's the recipe. When I made it I made a few changes (see notes) Ingredients. . . CAKE: 1 pkg Duncan Hines* yellow cake mix * Betty Crocker worked fine for me 1 pkg butterscotch pudding* *I used instant pudding - the small box 3 lge eggs 1/3 C cooking oil 1/2 C cold water 1/2 C spiced rum* * I used regular rum. Not sure what spiced rum is... it still tasted delicious. So did the cake! (HA HA HA!!) RUM GLAZE. . . 1 stk real butter 1/4 c water 1 C sugar 1/4 C rum (spiced rum)* *again - I used regular ol' rum. Again - tasted great :> 1 1/4 C walnut pieces (chopped) Directions... 1 - Pre-Heat oven 325* Lightly grease and flour Bundt Pan 2 - In mixing bowl mix Cake Mix, Butterscotch Pudding Mix, Eggs, Cooking oil, Cold Water, 1/2 Cup Rum Blend till light and fluffy 3 - Sprinkle chopped Walnuts in to bottom of pan, now pour batter around equally into pan. Bake for 1 hour Let cool approx 5 minutes, then turn on to platter and tap bottom of pan all around to release... 4 - Prepare Glaze: In sauce pan, melt Butter, add water, add sugar. Bring to boil and boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add Rum. Note: I cooked the glaze a little longer and it added a beautiful sheen to the cake... 5 - Poke holes into top of cake, I use toothpicks, then spoon glaze over cake. It {the glaze} will not be real thick, will be slightly runny. Cover and put in cool place. Let set then go back in a few hours and spoon more glaze onto it. The more it is soaked with the glaze the better it is...... Notes from "Just a Pinch" about this.... 2 Blue Ribbons go to JoSele Swopes of DELTA, CO (pop. 12,021) JoSele Wrote ... "This is a melt in yer mouth cake. This recipe is a no brainer, it was given to my mom from a very good friend years ago. It still works, I made it for work this past year and it went over great. Had people wanting me to make one for them to take home." Comments from the Test Kitchen: What an easy way to make a tasty splash! This oh-so-moist cake would be a great addition to any special luncheon, holiday spread or bake sale. Comment on this post IMMEDIATELY BELOW |
