Y’all know that not only do I love creating cocktail recipes, but I love cooking and baking with some of my favorite spirits.
Whenever I think of rum cakes, I always flash back to this rum cake I had on vacay many many moons ago. That cake was moist and buttery and packed with rum goodness. I have yet to recreate those cakes on my own, but when I was brainstorming and testing dessert ideas to go with this spirit, I kept thinking back to those rum cakes. After much testing, I’m happy to say that these mini Bundt cakes are a tried and true.
With outdoor entertaining, I love the idea of mini cakes for friends and family as not only does everyone have their own mini cake, but there’s no need to tote a big cake outside. They look chic and personally, I love the fun mini pans that are out there. As you know, when I create my favorite boozy bites, I love for the flavor of the liquor to be prominent so when I tested this recipe, i really went to town.
One of my tips for baking foolproof cakes is to make sure you really butter and flour the pan. While I often use a baking spray when it comes to the perfect nonstick pan, with the detail in some of these mini Bundt pans, you really need to use butter and flour. In one of my recipe fail versions of this recipe, let’s just say they stuck like glue and I never want you to have to go through that.
On to the recipe:
