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!

Ingredients

  • 1 box pineapple cake mix, pudding in the mix.
  • 4 - whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup mango rum
  • 3/4 cup choppen pecans (optional)
  • 1/2 cup oil (or) applesauce
  • - below for the topping
  • 1/2 cup mango rum (or you can cut to 1/4 c rum and 1/4 c water)
  • 1 cup sugar or substitute (splenda, agave etc)
  • 1 stick butter

How To Make tropical rum cake

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Blend the first 6 ingredients then beat on high for 6 mins.
  • Step 2
    Pour batter into a non stick Bundt Pan (I still spray lightly with Baker's Joy before I add batter)
  • Step 3
    Bake in a pre-heated oven on middle rack for 40 to 45 minutes. Top should be golden brown. Remove from oven.
  • Step 4
    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!
