As I've noted before, along with music, tradition, and the Catholic faith--food is a major part of Cuban (and all Hispanic) culture.
Today's recipe comes courtesy of my cousin Marina Páez, a fabulous cook!
What makes this rum cake uniquely Cuban, you ask? Choosing Bacardi rum, of course--whose beginning as a company dates back to the 1860s in Cuba!
Rum Cake
1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 181/2 oz. pkg. yellow cake mix*
1 31/4 oz pkg Jell-O* Vanilla Instant Pudding and Pie Filing
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup Wesson oil
1/2 cup of Bacardi dark rum (80 proof)
*If using yellow cake mix with pudding already in the mix, omit instant pudding, use 3 eggs instead of 4, 1/3 cup oil instead of 1/2.
Glaze:
1/4 lb butter
1/4 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup Bacardi dark rum (80 proof)
Preheat oven to 325 degree F. Grease and flour 10" tube or 12-cup Bundt* pan. Sprinkle nuts over bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients together. Pour batter over nuts. Bake 1 hour.
Cool. Invert on serving plate. Prick top. Spoon and brush glaze evenly over top and sides. Allow cake to absorb glaze. Repeat till glaze is used up.
Glaze: melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum.
An optional idea is to decorate with a border of sugar frosting or whipped cream. But honestly, there's no need.
Really, your cake is very beautiful and the post you have written is also very beautiful, in the same way, you keep writing more beautiful posts in your life, I am very much impressed by this post for your reading.
