Pineapple Rum Cake! Doesn't that just sound delish????
This Christmas I cooked two hams in my roaster oven and I have to tell you they were the best hams I've ever cooked! I got the recipe from Jennifer. All you do is pour a can of coke, 1 1/2 cups of pineapple rum and squeeze fresh lime over the ham. Delish!
Anyway, the pineapple rum was so good, it got me thinking about changing my rum cake recipe and adding pineapple and using the pineapple rum. So, let's try it!
Here's all you need.
Oops, I left out the sugar for the glaze in the picture. Sorry.
Put the yellow cake mix and the pudding mix into a mixing bowl. Add 4 eggs.
Add 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1/2 cup oil
Now add 1/2 cup pineapple rum
Wait a minute, take a better look at that.
This is so good! And not just because Cruzan sponsors this cutie:
It's really good! In fact you can sip on it all by itself or add a little sparkling water to it, pour over ice and add a fresh wedge of pineapple. Fantastic.
Now, back to the cake. Add the drained pineapple. And mix all ingredients. Put the chopped pecans in the bottom of a greased and floured bundt pan. Now pour batter over the nuts.
Bake in a 325° oven for one hour. Cool. Now poke holes all in the cake. I use bamboo skewers rather than toothpicks because they're longer.
Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 - 1/2 cup pineapple rum. Slowly pour over cake.
Let the cake completely absorb all the glaze.
Now cut you a piece and sit back and enjoy! Wow, not bad if I do say so myself. Uhmmm, I wonder what it would be like to add coconut, then you would have a very tropical pineapple coconut rum cake. I may have to try that next time. Excuse me while I cut myself another piece.
Pineapple Rum Cake
1 cup chopped pecans
One box yellow cake mix
One box instant vanilla pudding mix (3.5 oz package)
4 eggs
1 small can crushed pineapple, drained (and reserve juice)*
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup pineapple rum
Preheat oven to 325°. Grease and flour a bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix remaining ingredients together. Pour batter evenly over nuts. Bake for 1 hour. Cool. Invert on plate. Prick top with toothpick or long wooden skewer. Drizzle glaze evenly over cake top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze.
Glaze
4 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water (or use reserved pineapple juice)
1 cup sugar
1/4 to 1/2 cup pineapple rum
Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.
*The next time I made this, I reserved the pineapple juice and used it instead of the water for the glaze.

Hi. I found a similar recipe to yours on lline without the buttermilk but it called for 1/2 cup pinacolada mix. I used pineapple soda coconut juice & coconut extract instead. They also had 1/4 cup cold water but I left that out. Also I used the coconut cruzan rum & instead of putting pineapple chunks in the batter I added the juice from the can to the final glaze and placed the pineapples on top. It was so good!!! I didn't have a bundt pan so I split the batter between a loaf pan & an 8x8 pan. One for a friend or to freeze for later. I just put the pan in the fridge then heated a piece up & added some whipcream. This was the best piece of cake I've ever had! Thought I should post a comment when I saw the idea of using the coconut cruzan rum. I should try the buttermilk next time & Btw the ham sounds amazing too! =)
Oops. I should've mentioned I cut the bake time in half because I used a loaf pan & an 8 x 8 pan. 30 to 35 minutes. ;)
Oh, come on. Packet cake mix? Packet Jello mix? Whatever happened to baking from scratch?
I love this recipe. It was so delicious
Inspiring story there. What occurred after? Thanks!
