pumpkin rum cake/bread
I was going through an old cookbook from the Oregon Cancer Society that my great aunt gave me years ago, looking for something different to make, and ran across this. I love pumpkin and this sounds amazing. I haven't seen anything like this on here, so I thought I would share. I'll be trying this one for the holidays! If you beat me to it, let me know what you think. **This recipe was originally shared by Retta Cooper. All credit and thanks go to her.**

How To Make pumpkin rum cake/bread
-
Step 1For cake: Prepare cake mixes according to directions, but reduce water to a total of 2/3 cup. Add pumpkin and spice; mix well. Prepare a 10-inch fluted tube pan by greasing and flouring well. Pour cake mixture into pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour 20 minutes. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto serving plate. Using a long-tined fork or skewer, punch holes in the top of the cake at 1 inch intervals.

Step 2For glaze: In saucepan, bring sugar, orange juice and cinnamon stick to a boil, then remove from heat. Remove the cinnamon stick and stir in the rum. Spoon glaze slowly over the cake, a small amount at a time, allowing it be absorbed before adding more, until all glaze is used.
-
Step 3Note: This is the original recipe, but I think I would omit the cinnamon stick and use a spiced rum instead.
