This easy rum cake recipe is always a crowd-pleaser with its moist texture and delicious rum glaze. A classic holiday treat from the Caribbean, rum cake is often flavored with a medley of spices and frequently made with dried fruits. Our version omits the fruit but incorporates a crushed pecan topping for nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch. It's just like the golden poundcake you enjoyed as a kid — but with a well-balanced caramel note from the rum extract in both the batter and the glaze. We pour the gooey glaze atop the bundt cake when it's hot from the oven, which makes it incredibly soft, buttery and packed with rum flavor. Enjoy this spiced rum cake plain or with vanilla whipped cream for dessert, or with a cup of tea or coffee for a decadent breakfast.
