4. Make the Rum Glaze:
While the cake is baking, prepare the rum glaze. In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Stir in the water, sugar, and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum and vanilla extract. Set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
5. Soak the Cake:
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
After the cake has cooled slightly, carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate or cake stand.
While the cake is still warm, use a skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the top of the cake.
Slowly pour the warm rum glaze over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the glaze absorb completely, ensuring the cake is well-soaked in the syrup.
6. Cool and Serve:
Let the cake cool completely before serving.
Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the cake with a cup of coffee or tea for a comforting treat.
Pair with fresh berries or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness and flavor.
