A moist, dense bundt cake soaked in an Sailors Rum - Apple Pie glaze. This is the cake that belongs at every fall gathering on Long Island — and it gets better on day two.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly.

  2. 2

    Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, water, oil, rum, and cinnamon. Beat on medium for 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Pour into prepared pan. Bake 55–60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

  4. 4

    While cake bakes, make the glaze: melt butter in a saucepan, add water and sugar, boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in rum.

  5. 5

    When cake comes out of the oven, poke holes all over the top with a skewer.

  6. 6

    Pour half the glaze over the cake in the pan. Let sit 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Invert onto a serving plate, poke holes in the top, and pour remaining glaze over.

  8. 8

    Cool completely before slicing — at least 1 hour.

Bartender's Tip

This cake is genuinely better the next day. Make it the night before and let the glaze soak in overnight.
