Bake the cake. Pour batter into lightly sprayed bundt pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until you can stick a toothpick in the center of the cake and it comes out clean.

Let cool. Set the cake aside to cool. Once cool, flip the cake over on a plate and remove from pan.

Tips for Spiced Rum Cake

For drizzle without rum, you can substitute milk or water.

If you prefer a thicker drizzle, add additional powdered sugar, one Tablespoon at a time, until you reach the consistency you prefer.

You can substitute any flavor of rum! There are so many to choose from, and you can mix and match for cake and frosting. Try pineapple rum or vanilla rum.
