• 1/4 cup golden rum 🥃
• 1/4 cup water 💧

Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat Your Oven

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

2️⃣ Prepare the Batter

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together using an electric mixer. Start on low speed to incorporate everything, then increase to high speed until the batter is smooth and thick, about 3-4 minutes. 🍰

3️⃣ Prepare the Pan

Spray and flour your chosen cake pan(s) – whether it’s a bundt pan, two 9-inch cake pans, or a tube pan. 🥄

4️⃣ Pour the Batter

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s), using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean. 🥄

5️⃣ Bake the Cake

Place the cake in the preheated oven. For a bundt pan, bake for about 45 minutes. For 9-inch round cake pans, bake for about 35 minutes. ⏳

6️⃣ Cool the Cake

After baking, let the cake cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, carefully flip it out onto a cooling rack to cool for another 30 minutes. 🌬️

7️⃣ Add More Rum (Optional)

If desired, poke holes in the cake using a metal skewer or bamboo stick, and slowly pour an additional 1/4 cup of golden rum into the holes. 🥃

8️⃣ Prepare the Lemon Glaze

Mix 3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar with the juice of 1 lemon to prepare the lemon glaze. Adjust the thickness of the glaze to your liking. 🍋

9️⃣ Glaze the Cake

Place the cake on a platter with strips of wax or aluminum foil under the edges to catch any drips. Drizzle the cake with the lemon glaze using a spoon. 🍥

🔟 Final Touches

Remove the foil strips to keep your platter clean and dispose of the messy strips. Enjoy your Mango Rum Cake! 🎉
