Ingredients

  • Glaze:
  • Vegetable-oil cooking spray
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup dark rum
  • 1 pound (4 sticks) butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 pound confectioners' sugar
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons rum
  • 3 tablespoons whole milk

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Generously spray mini Bundt cake

pans with cooking spray. Sift together the flour,

baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Combine

buttermilk and rum in a glass measure.

Cream butter and both sugars in a mixer bowl on

high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add

eggs one at a time, beating well between each; mix

on medium speed until combined. Add flour and

buttermilk mixtures, alternating between them, and

beginning and ending with flour.

Fill each cake pan with about 1/2 cup batter; tap pan

against the counter to remove any air bubbles and to

evenly distribute batter. Bake until tops spring back

when touched lightly, edges begin to pull away from

pan, and a cake tester inserted in the centers comes

out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire

rack for 15 minutes; then invert pan to unmold cakes onto rack. Let cool completely.

To serve, whisk together glaze ingredients until

smooth, and drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons over each cake.
