Lemon Rum Bundt #BundtBakers

· 54 Comments

Thank you for joining us today for this month’s Bundt Bakers.

It has been such a fun group to be a part of, especially since I love baking bundts.

Believe it or not, this is my first submission since joining the group with my daughter. I have thoroughly enjoyed the bundts she has prepared for the last couple events.

This month, the theme is baking with booze. It didn’t take me long to come up with this Lemon Rum Bundt. I topped this moist, crumby cake with a lemon rum syrup and then a lemon and rum infused icing drizzle.

Ingredients

    For Lemon Bundt:
  • 1 cup vanilla cake mix
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • Juice of 1/4 lemon
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 eggs
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • For Rum Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup rum
  • 1/4-1/2 cup sugar
  • Juice of 1 lemon
    • For Icing Drizzle:
  • 1 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons Rum Sauce (recipe listed above)

Instructions

    For the Lemon Bundt:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a bundt pan and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl combine cake mix and flour. Set aside.
  3. In the bowl of your stand-mixer, mix the oil, milk, lemon juice and zest, sugar, baking powder, eggs, and vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat slowly until all the ingredients are incorporated and the batter is smooth.
  4. Pour cake batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  5. Let cool completely before turning over to a cake plate.
    6. For the Rum Sauce:
  6. In a small saucepan, whisk together rum, sugar and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer. Reserve about 2 tablespoons of the rum sauce for the icing drizzle. Slowly, pour the sauce over the bundt and let it absorb.
    7. For the Icing:
  7. In small bowl, whisk together confectioner's sugar and reserved rum sauce until a thick icing comes together. Drizzle liberally over the bundt and let set.

    I'm saving this recipe! I just made a pistachio bundt cake, and am thinking it would also be nice for Christmas since it is green. I'm following you gals on Pinterest now.

    I never would have thought to combine lemon and rum, but now I can see how great they could work together. Beautiful:))

    This looks so moist and mouthwatering! We were married in a very conservative Mennonite church. And the baker accidentally put rum in our wedding cake, so embarrassing! But since none of the guests had ever imbibed, they wondered what the strange flavor was. In order to check it out, they kept coming back for more!

    Dear Catherine, How wonderful and very lemony. I love to make Bundt cakes too, they just look so pretty in the shape of the bundt pan. This recipe is delightful and must be a refreshing flavor with the lemon, especially the Lemon Rum. Love the flavor of lemons and a perfect recipe. That is so nice that you shared in the "Bundt Bakers" group with Tammy. I have to go into each site and checkout their recipes. Your photos are outstanding and look so marvelous. Thank you for sharing your marvelous recipe. Have a blessed day, dear friend! Dottie :)

    Hi Catherine:) Who can resisit the flavors of rum and lemon united? Not me that's fir sure. I'm very curious about adding the first two ingredients of this cake mixture. Is that a cup of vanilla cake mix and an additional cup of all purpose flour? Very interesting:) I totally missed Bundt Pan Day this year. I don't know what tree I was sleeping under, lol...Thank goodness for events like this to keep the Bundt alive. I may even check into next month's theme, if I remember, lol... Your cake, of course, looks amazing and I am quite sure it even tastes better than it looks!!! Thank you so much for sharing, Catherine...It seems everyone in the family has that bundt touch:)
