Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
5 large eggs
2 teaspoons rum extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup dark rum
3 tablespoons of milk
For the Rum-Soaked Raisins and Tutty Fruity:
1/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup candied tutty fruity (mixed candied fruits)
1/4 cup dark rum (adjust to soak)
Instructions:
For the Rum-Soaked Raisins and Tutty Fruity:
In a small bowl, combine the raisins, candied tutty fruity, and dark rum. Mix well to ensure all the fruits are soaked in the rum. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit for at least a few hours or overnight. This allows the fruits to absorb the rum flavor.
To Bake the Cake :
Preheat your oven to 350°F (160°C). Grease a Bundt pan or a cake pan of your choice.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the rum extract .
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture.
Mix until just combined. Then add 1/2 cup of dark rum.
Next fold in the rum-soaked raisins and tutty fruity, making sure to drain any excess rum liquid before adding them to the batter.
Add the milk to it and mix well.
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan or cake pan and smooth it out.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes (adjust the baking time if needed) or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once the cake has cooled, gently invert it onto a serving platter or cake stand.
Then glaze the cake with a simple rum and sugar glaze for extra flavor and presentation.
Slice and serve your Rum Cake.
Enjoy your homemade Tutty Fruity and Rum Cake!
