BAHAMIAN RUM CAKE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 10-cup (2.5-liter) Bundt cake or tube pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray, dust it with flour, and tap out any excess.
- To make the cake, into a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and the nutmeg.
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the 1 cup (8 ounces/225 g) butter and 2 cups (400 g) granulated sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, beat together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla. With the mixer running, slowly dribble the egg mixture into the butter mixture, stopping the mixer and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed, until the eggs are completely incorporated. (The mixture may look curdled, which is normal.) Gently stir in one-third of the flour mixture, then about half of the 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk. Mix in about half of the remaining flour mixture, followed by the remaining coconut milk. Finally, gently stir in the remaining flour mixture just until combined.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and bake until the cakes feels just set in the center, 55 to 60 minutes.
- While the cake is baking, make the coconut-rum syrup. In a medium saucepan, warm the 3/4 cup (180 ml) coconut milk and the 6 tablespoons (75 g) granulated sugar, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and add the 1/2 cup (125 ml) rum.
- When the cake comes out of the oven, leave it in the pan and poke it with a wooden skewer about 60 times. Spoon about two-thirds of the coconut-rum syrup over the cake, letting it soak in gradually. Let the cake cool completely.
- Invert the cake onto a cake plate. Brush or spoon the remaining coconut-rum syrup over the cake.
- To make the glaze, in a small saucepan over high heat, bring the 4 tablespoons (2 ounces/60 g) butter, the cream, brown sugar, and pinch of salt to a boil. Cook, stirring to dissolve the sugar, for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the 1 tablespoon rum, and let cool completely. Once cool, stir in the toasted coconut.
- Spoon the glaze over the top of the cake, encouraging it to run down the sides of the cake (if the glaze seems too thick, rewarm it slightly).
- Storage
- The cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 4 days, preferably under a cake dome.
TROPICAL RUM CAKE
My hubby came up with this variation of our rum cake recipe. Not big on pineapple or mango? Just use white rum and a yellow cake mix. Just as delish!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blend the first 6 ingredients then beat on high for 6 mins.
- Pour batter into a non stick Bundt Pan (I still spray lightly with Baker's Joy before I add batter)
- Bake in a pre-heated oven on middle rack for 40 to 45 minutes. Top should be golden brown. Remove from oven.
- While cake is still hot add topping ingredients to a small saucepan on a med heat. Bring to a boil and let rapidly boil for a couple minutes, while stirring. Watch carefully so it doesn't boil over. Take a large fork (with 2 tines) and poke holes in still hot cake. Slowly pour or spoon topping over entire hot cake and leave in bundt pan until all the liquid is absorbed. Then turn cake upside down on serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or decorate with fresh fruit. Very rich, so easily cut into 16 servings. Even better if cake is still a little warm. A crown pleaser for sure. (make sure everyone knows there is alcohol in cake in case of sensitivites) Enjoy!

CARIBBEAN COCONUT RUM CAKE
My take on those boozy treats that weigh down suitcases returning from Jamaica, this moist cake packs a rum punch. You may wish to card your guests before serving. The longer the rum soaks in, the better-overnight is best. -Jenn Hall, Collingswood, New Jersey

RUM CAKE
Not sure where the recipe is originally from, but it is very intoxicating. Great for a Carribean or Tropical theme...Good for potlucks (not church or job related ones). Best if made the day before and refrigerated. Guessed on prep time and servings...depends on how big you slice the bundt cake and how long you wait between applications of the glaze.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
