Instructions
1οΈβ£ Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). π₯
2οΈβ£ In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together with an electric mixer. Start on low speed to incorporate, then mix on high until the batter is smooth and thick, about 3-4 minutes. π°
3οΈβ£ Spray and flour a bundt pan, or two 9-inch cake pans, or a tube pan, depending on your preference. π₯
4οΈβ£ Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan(s), using a rubber spatula to scrape the bowl clean. π₯
5οΈβ£ Bake in the preheated oven. For a bundt pan, bake for about 45 minutes. For 9-inch round cake pans, bake for about 35 minutes. β³
6οΈβ£ 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. π¬οΈ
7οΈβ£ (Optional) 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. π₯
8οΈβ£ Prepare the lemon glaze by mixing 3/4 to 1 cup powdered sugar with the juice of 1 lemon. Adjust the thickness of the glaze to your liking. π
9οΈβ£ 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. π₯
π Remove the foil strips to keep your platter clean and dispose of the messy strips. Enjoy your Mango Rum Cake! π
