Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 4 tsp | Baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | Salt |
| 1/2 cup | Milk |
| 1/4 cup | Butter |
| 1 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 4 | Eggs |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 cup | Water |
| 1 cup | Rum |
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
-
Prepare Pan: Generously grease a 12-cup Bundt pan or 8-cup ring mold to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, 1 cup of sugar, baking powder, salt, milk, butter, vanilla extract, and eggs. Beat at low speed until moistened, then increase to medium speed and beat for an additional 2 minutes until well combined.
-
Bake Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare Rum Syrup: While the cake is baking, prepare the rum syrup. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the rum.
-
Soak Cake: Once the cake is baked, use a long-tined fork to pierce the hot cake in the pan at 1-inch intervals. Immediately pour the prepared rum syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake sit in the pan for 15 minutes to absorb the syrup.
-
Cool and Glaze: After soaking, invert the cake onto a serving plate and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour, or until completely cooled. In a small saucepan, heat apricot preserves until melted. Press the preserves through a strainer into a bowl to remove any large pieces. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
-
Serve: Just before serving, fill the center of the cake with your choice of cut-up fruit for a beautiful presentation.
