We are absolutely enamored with this straightforward Rum Cake recipe, which is exceptionally soft, moist, and enriched with a delightful glaze. It is simple enough for novices yet impressive enough for entertaining guests.
Rum Cake truly satisfies the sweet craving.
I appreciate how a homemade rum cake feels distinctly special while remaining remarkably easy to prepare. My rendition is essentially a moist homemade yellow cake with a subtle hint of rum flavor, topped with a warm rum glaze that seeps into the hot cake, enhancing its moisture and flavor.
Regarding the alcohol content in the rum cake, I prefer using Bacardi Gold or dark Myers rum, but feel free to use any variety you prefer (the alcohol largely evaporates during the baking process). If you wish to create a rum cake without alcohol, substitute one teaspoon of rum extract for the rum.

Instructions for making Rum Cake:
Prepare the Cake Batter: Whisk together milk, sour cream, and rum, allowing the mixture to reach room temperature. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and then incorporate the sugar. Mix in the vanilla, followed by the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time. In another bowl, combine cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add one-third of the dry ingredients to the batter, mixing until well combined. Then, add half of the milk mixture. Continue alternating with the remaining dry ingredients and milk/sour cream mixture until fully incorporated.
Bake: Transfer the batter into a well-greased 12-cup bundt pan and bake at 350°F (180°C) for approximately 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Prepare the Glaze while the cake is baking. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack, clean the pan, and return the cake to the pan. Poke holes throughout the cake and gently pour most of the glaze over it, reserving a small amount for later topping. Let the homemade rum cake absorb the glaze, then invert it onto a plate or serving platter. Spoon the remaining glaze on top just before serving.
Notes
Make Ahead Instructions: You can prepare homemade rum cake in advance and store it in the refrigerator for a maximum of 5 days. It can be enjoyed either warm (by reheating slices in the microwave) or cold.
Freezing Instructions: To achieve optimal results, freeze the baked rum cake prior to applying the glaze. Wrap it in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Once ready to serve, thaw the cake completely, prepare the glaze, poke holes in the cake, and apply the glaze. Allow the cake to rest for a minimum of 30 minutes before serving.
