My Mother (80+years old) raved about this recipe. She’s requested I bring it to all functions.

Rum Cranberry Applesauce Bundt Cake

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1/4 cup white sugar
    3/4 cup packed brown sugar
    2 eggs
    1/3 cup dark rum
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 1/4 cups applesauce
    1 cup dried cranberries
     
    3 tablespoons butter, melted
    1/4 cup packed brown sugar
    1 cup confectioners’ sugar
    2 tablespoons dark rum

Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 9 or 10 inch Bundt pan lightly with cooking spray and dust with flour.

    2 In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and allspice.

    3 In a large mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter, white sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Mix in eggs, 1/3 cup rum, and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture in three additions alternately with applesauce, ending with flour. Stir in dried cranberries. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

    4 Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes, remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.

    5 In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Stir in 1/4 cup brown sugar, confectioners’ sugar, and 2 tablespoons rum. Heat until smooth; if mixture is too thick, add water and maybe a little more rum. Drip glaze over cooled cake.
