Rum And Cola Birthday Cake Recipes

RUM AND COKE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°.
• Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
• Liberally grease and lightly flour a standard Bundt pan.
• Beat the eggs with an electric mixer; gradually add the softened butter and the sugar and beat until creamy.
• Beat in the Coca-Cola, rum, vanilla, and milk (note--use only fresh, bubbly Coke, not flat Coke, as called for in some recipes; the bubbles actually make a honeycomb effect in the finished cake).
• Gradually add the flour mixture to the mixing bowl, beating constantly until you have a smooth batter.
• Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan; bake 45-60 minutes, or until the cake tests done.
• Let the cake cook slightly; use a knife to work around the sides and center of the cake, and then invert the cake on a serving platter.
• The sauce: while the cake is baking, make the sauce--bring the Coca-Cola, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan; continue cooking at med-high heat, stirring, until the syrup thickens.
• Remove from the heat and immediately stir in the butter and the rum.
• Serve the cake warm, spooning plenty of sauce over each individual serving.
• *Can double the sauce, if you want.

PINA COLADA RUM CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9- inch round cake pans.
• In a large bowl, combine the cake mix and instant pudding. Add the eggs, water, 1/3 cup rum and oil, mix well. Fold in the 1 cup coconut and spread the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
• To make the filling and frosting, stir together the second package of pudding and the pineapple, including the juice. Fold in the cool whip and more rum if desired. Fill and ice cake. Chill until serving time.

RUM AND COLA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
• In large bowl, beat cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally, until well blended. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• Bake about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• In medium bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium-low speed until combined. Increase speed to medium; gradually beat in rum and vanilla until fluffy. Pipe or spread frosting on cupcakes.
