In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Alternate adding half the dry ingredients and half the liquid ingredients (milk and rum) at a time and beat until well combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the batter from the bottom to the top to ensure it’s well mixed.
5
Pour the batter in prepared pan and bake at 350°F for ⏱️ 35-40 minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about ⏱️ 30 minutes.
6
Make the Glaze
7
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Then stir in the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and boil for ⏱️ 5 minutes on medium while stirring frequently to prevent burning. Mixture will become thick and bubbly as the water evaporates.
8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the rum until combined.
9
Remove the cake from the pan, ensuring it won’t stick. Then place it back in the pan and poke holes with a fork or toothpick all over the bottom of the cake. Pour the glaze over the cake. Allow the cake to sit in the pan for ⏱️ 30 minutes and then remove. You may have to use a knife or long toothpick to help loosen the cake from the middle and edges. Then allow the cake to cool completely.
