Prepare Dry Ingredients:

Cream Butter and Sugar:
- In another bowl, using a mixer set on high speed, beat butter and sugar until creamy and well blended.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients:
- Add eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Beat in canned pumpkin, rum, lemon peel (finely grated), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring until all ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Prepare for Steaming:
- Grease an 8-9 cup bundt pan with butter. Place the bundt pan in a larger 12×17 inch baking pan.
-
Steam the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully pour boiling water around the bundt pan, almost to the level of the pudding.
- Cover the entire baking pan tightly with aluminum foil.
-
Bake:
- Place the baking pan with the prepared pudding cake on the bottom rack of the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the pudding feels firm to the touch and a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the pudding cake to cool for about 10 minutes in the pan.
- Then, carefully invert the bundt pan over a plate to unmold the cake.
- Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream, or let it cool completely and cover loosely until ready to serve.
