Ingredients

  • 1 box (about 400gm) Golden Butter cake mix

  • 1 package (about 100gm) Instant vanilla pudding mix

  • 4 Eggs

  • 0.5 cup Cold water

  • 0.5 cup Canola oil

  • 0.5 cup Rum-(dark or light is fine)

  • 0.25 cup Water

  • 1.5 cups Sugar

  • 0.75 cup Rum

  • 110 gram Butter

  • 1/4 cups Walnuts

  • 1/4 cups Glace cherries

  • 1 packet Blackberries

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 180C.
  • Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter into a greased bundt tin. Smooth out until the top is even.
  • Bake for 45 – 1 hour, then check if the cake is cooked when a skewer comes out clean. While the cake has ten minutes to go, make the glaze.
  • Melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Turn off flame and pour in the rum. Stir to combine and reheat for 30 seconds.
  • Remove cake from the oven. Immediately drizzle 1/3 of the glaze on the bottom (top) of the cake. Allow to sit for five minutes.
  • Invert the cake onto a serving plate. Gently prick the cake surface all over with a skewer.
  • Slowly drizzle remaining rum glaze all over the top of the cake, allowing it to soak in and drip down the sides.
  • Cool to room temperature before serving to ensure glaze has soaked in.
  • Scatter over the extra walnuts and glasè cherries and fresh blackberries.
  • Eat. Enjoy. And don’t feel guilty. It’s Christmas time!

Notes

  • Christmas Rum Cake can be frozen up to one month. Whip some up weeks before so you won’t have to stress on Christmas eve!
