Deliciously Decadent Caribbean Rum Cake Recipe!

While the cake is baking, prepare the rum syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and carefully stir in the dark rum.

Once the cake is finished baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Use a skewer or toothpick to poke several holes all over the cake. Slowly pour the rum syrup over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing.

Optional: Once the cake has cooled, you can brush additional rum over the top of the cake for extra flavor.

Before serving, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.

Enjoy your homemade Caribbean rum cake! It’s a delightful treat with a rich and moist texture, perfect for special occasions or any time you want to indulge a little.
