Caribbean Spiced Rum Cake
When my sweet neighbor gifted me a pineapple, I immediately thought about the bold and bright Caribbean flavors: coconut, almond, pineapple, vanilla and of course spiced rum. Serving with a pineapple martini on the side, oh you know it's gonna be good.
Ingredient
Food ration :
1 1/3 cup (330ml) bundt cake
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Crushed Pineapple: cut pineapple into chunks. Put them into your food processor and pulse 2-3 times. Use a strainer to reserve the pineapple juice. Set aside.
* Step 2
Preheat the oven to 325F (160C). Prep a 1 1/3 cup (330ml) bundt pan with shortening (or nonstick cooking spray) and dust with almond meal.
* Step 3
For the Cake: With an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar. In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients together, including the shredded coconut. Then beat the dry mixture into butter mixture. It will be crumbly.
* Step 4
Whisk the coconut milk, egg, rum, vanilla extract, and drained crushed pineapple together, and add to the mixer. Beat until combined.
* Step 5
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick into the center of the cake comes out clean. If not, bake for 5 minutes longer, then test again.
* Step 6
While the cake is cooling, prepare the spiced rum syrup. In a sauce pan combine all ingredients. On medium heat, bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 8 minutes or until it begins to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
* Step 7
With a skewer, poke holes throughout the cake and slowly pour the syrup over it, allowing it to absorb until all the syrup has been applied. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
* Step 8
When ready to serve, gently slide a thin knife between the cake and the edges of the pan to loosen. Cover the cake with a cake plate and carefully flip. Once your cake has released, remove pan.
* Step 9
Mix the glaze ingredients starting with 30 g of powdered sugar, 5 ml pineapple juice, and rum. Whisk and add more powdered sugar or juice to reach your desired consistency. It should be very thick, yet still be able to slowly drip down the sides of the cake.
* Step 10
Toast the coconut in a small dry skillet, over medium heat. Stir until the coconut is golden. Sprinkle on top of the glaze andddd you're done.
