This is a fantastic quick base recipe for a great rum cake.  My personal flares...butter spray and sugar to prepare bundt pan.  Saute and cook down pecans in butter and rum before adding to pan.  Adding glaze before turning out and soak was a fabulous idea MamaK.  Turn it out and Then soak it again.

I used this base recipe but used white cake, pistachio pudding and spiced rum.  Saute chopped pistachios, butter, sour cherries and spiced rum.  Use sour cherry juice for water in cake mix.  use cherry juice for sliced rum glaze as well.

Used Malibu coconut rum and cinnamon 👍🏻 It was gone in 2 days

Easy Rum Cake

Banana Rum Cake with Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum Cream Cheese Frosting

Banana Rum Cake

unsalted butter (1 stick, room temperature)

sugar

eggs (room temperature)

spiced rum (I use Captain Morgan’s (See Notes))

vanilla extract

medium ripe bananas (extra-ripe, smashed)

all-purpose flour

baking soda

salt

cream cheese (room temperature)

unsalted butter (room temperature)

vanilla

spiced rum

sugar (6 cups)

cinnamon

nutmeg

heavy cream

pecans

banana

Preheat your oven to 350°F.  Grease a 9x13 cake pan with nonstick baking spray; set pan aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or use a medium mixing bowl and an electric hand mixer), cream butter and sugar on medium-high speed until fluffy and creamy.

Reduce speed to medium and add eggs, rum and vanilla extract. Beat well to combine.

Reduce mixer speed to low. Add flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Add mashed bananas and beat on medium until completely combined.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs.

Remove the pan from the oven and transfer to a wire cooling rack to allow the cake to cool completely.

For the Cake

In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine cream cheese and butter. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, rum, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Beat until well combined. With the mixer on low, add salt and powdered sugar (starting with about 1 pound and increasing as necessary to get a light fluffy frosting.

Use an offset spatula to frost the cake.

Frosting

Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form.  Add powdered sugar and continue whipping until stiff and pipeable.

Cut the cake into 12 even slices.  Pipe a swirl of whipped cream in the center of each slice.  Top each square with a banana slice and whole pecan.

Serve and enjoy!
