Bacardi Double-Chocolate Rum Cake
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 box | chocolate instant pudding |
| 1 cup | Bacardi dark rum |
| 1 cup | water |
| 1/2 cup | shortening |
| 1/4 cup | canola oil |
| 4 | eggs |
| 1 3/4 cups | chocolate pieces |
| 1 | vanilla baking bar |
| 1 tsp | water |
| Raspberry preserves |
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Combine the chocolate instant pudding mix, eggs, 1/2 cup of Bacardi dark rum, water, and canola oil in a large mixing bowl.
-
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture at low speed until moistened.
-
Increase the speed to medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes until well combined and smooth.
-
Stir in 1 cup of chocolate pieces to the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
-
Pour the batter into a greased 12-cup Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating that the cake is done.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully removing it and transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
While the cake is cooling, prepare the raspberry glaze by heating the raspberry preserves and the remaining 1/2 cup of Bacardi dark rum in a saucepan over low heat until warmed through.
-
Strain the raspberry glaze through a sieve to remove any seeds, ensuring a smooth consistency.
-
Place the cooled cake on a serving platter and prick the surface of the cake with a fork to create tiny holes.
-
Brush the raspberry glaze evenly over the surface of the cake, allowing it to seep into the tiny holes and infuse the cake with its delightful flavor.
-
Repeat the brushing process until all the raspberry glaze has been absorbed by the cake, ensuring maximum flavor and moisture.
-
Next, prepare the chocolate icing by combining the remaining 1 cup of chocolate pieces and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl.
-
Microwave the chocolate mixture on high for 1 minute or until melted, stirring halfway through to ensure smoothness.
-
Spoon the melted chocolate icing over the cooled cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides in a deliciously decadent drizzle.
-
Let the cake stand for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate icing to set slightly and firm up.
-
Finally, prepare the vanilla drizzle by combining the vanilla baking bar and 1 teaspoon of water in a microwave-safe bowl.
-
Microwave the mixture on high for 30 seconds or until melted, stirring until smooth and creamy.
-
Drizzle the vanilla icing over the top of the chocolate icing in a decorative pattern, adding a touch of elegance to the finished cake.
-
Slice and serve this Bacardi Double-Chocolate Rum Cake to your delighted guests, and watch as they marvel at its exquisite taste and luxurious texture.
