Butter Rum Bundt Cakes

My family and I always love to do something special for the Oscar's, our own little "Oscar Party" if you will! This year I made these very special golden, butter rum bundt cakes that were absolutely to die for. Moist, decadent. This has always been a favorite cake from our childhood. My sisters and I would buy these butter rum bundt cakes from my grandma's farmers market in Laguna Beach. Every time we went there, we always had to get our own little bundt cakes! I thought it would be a little fun to try my hand at this childhood favorite. They tasted wonderful. I had no idea how I would even begin putting together this recipe, so I went on Pinterest and came across this recipe! I used a recipe by Gimme Some Oven. Instead of pouring all the batter into one big bundt pan, I made 12 little bundt cakes and baked for about 18 minutes. I definitely found this recipe to be a little more difficult to put together, but nonetheless they tasted amazing. If you don't always have buttermilk on hand, like me, you can make your own by combining the 1/2 cup of milk with 1 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar or lemon juice.

BUTTER RUM BUNDT CAKES WITH HONEY BUTTERCREAM

YIELD: 12 mini cakes | TOTAL TIME: 75 minutes

MINI BUNDT CAKES

Recipe: Gimme Some Oven

Evenly distribute the batter into a 6-mini bundt cake pan and bake for 18 minutes. Prepare the frosting while cakes are in the oven.

HONEY BUTTERCREAM

Ingredients:

6 tablespoons butter, room temperature

2 cups confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon pure honey

Directions:

In a medium bowl, whip the butter on high for 4 minutes. Reduce the speed to medium and add the confectioners’ sugar and milk in small parts at a time, alternating between the two. Add the vanilla and honey, and continue to whip on high for another couple minutes until the frosting is nice and fluffy.

Serve cakes almost immediately for best taste.

Store bundt cakes at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or refrigerate up to 5.
