Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the softened butter, vegetable oil, and buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the rum and vanilla extract until the batter is well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Rum Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the sugar and water, bringing the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil gently, stirring occasionally, until it reaches a thick, syrup-like consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
- Carefully stir in the rum, continue to simmer the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes until it thickens further, resembling a caramel-like texture.
- While the cake is still warm, use a skewer to poke small holes all over. Slowly pour half of the butter rum sauce over the cake, letting it soak in.
- Once the cake is fully cooled, drizzle the remaining sauce over the top, letting it cascade down the sides.
- Allow the sauce to set for a few minutes, slice and serve. Enjoy!
