Coconut Rum Cake Delight

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Rum Cake Delight.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a fluted tube pan, like a classic Bundt pan, and give it a light spray with nonstick cooking spray to ensure your cake releases beautifully later on.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans and shredded coconut, creating a delightful nutty and tropical blend.

4. Step 4

   Spread this mixture evenly across the bottom of your prepared Bundt pan, setting the stage for a delicious surprise layer.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, mix together the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, rum, coconut milk, melted coconut oil, and coconut extract.

6. Step 6

   Use an electric mixer to beat this mixture for about three minutes, until everything is well blended and smooth.

7. Step 7

   Pour this luscious batter over the pecan and coconut layer in your Bundt pan, letting it envelop the crunchy goodness below.

8. Step 8

   Now, it’s time to bake! Place the pan in your preheated oven and let it work its magic for 45 to 55 minutes.

9. Step 9

   You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Step 10

    Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes on a wire rack.

11. Step 11

    This is the perfect time to savor the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen.

12. Step 12

    After the cooling period, gently run a knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.

13. Step 13

    With a careful flip, invert it onto a serving plate, revealing the beautiful pecan and coconut layer on top.

14. Step 14

    While your cake cools completely, let’s whip up a delicious glaze.

15. Step 15

    In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, rum, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water.

16. Step 16

    Stir this mixture constantly for about five minutes until it becomes smooth and slightly thickened, creating a rich, glossy glaze.

17. Step 17

    Once your cake has cooled, take a skewer and poke holes throughout its surface.

18. Step 18

    This step is crucial as it allows the warm glaze to soak in, infusing every bite with flavor.

19. Step 19

    Spoon the warm glaze generously over the cake, watching it seep into the holes and create a mouthwatering finish.
