Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan to prevent sticking.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix, milk, cooking oil, sour cream, rum, eggs, and cinnamon. Mix with an electric mixer on low speed until just blended.
3
Gradually increase to medium speed and beat for an additional 2 minutes, ensuring a smooth batter.
4
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan, making sure not to overfill.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
6
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Afterward, gently remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
7
To prepare the rum glaze, mix the sifted powdered sugar with melted butter and rum in a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
8
If the glaze is too thick, add water, 1/2 teaspoon at a time, until you reach a drizzling consistency.
9
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in slightly before serving.
