Rum Pecan Bundt for #BundtBakers
Today I want to introduce you to a new group called #BundtBakers. You will see some familiar faces from our old group #BundtaMonth!!
#BundtBakers is a group of Bundt-loving bakers who get together once a month to bake Bundts with a common ingredient or theme. Follow our Pinterest board right here.
We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient.
If you are a food blogger and would like to join us, just send an email to Stacy at [email protected] or ask to join our private Facebook group.
This month, for the inaugural edition of #BundtBakers, our theme and ingredient of choice are NUTS. We’ve got almonds and walnuts, pistachios and hazelnuts and lots of pecans! All baked into delicious Bundt cakes.
With the theme being nuts I really wanted to make the cake that my mom loved so much, I made it so many times growing up I can’t even count!!
I remember piercing the cake with a huge long needle so the endless glaze would seep slowly in. I would paint it patiently until it was all absorbed into the cake.
It has such a wonderful rummy crust of goodness on the outside and a delicious moist interior. It has been quite a while since I have made a cake from a box mix as I almost always make them from scratch now.

What a beautiful nutty cake, Tara! My grandmother used to make something called a Sock it to Me Cake that reminds me of yours. I’m so glad we all decided to keep baking Bundts together!

A lot of people eat rum cakes only during the holidays. I say they are good all year long. I’m also very glad Bundt Bakers will carry on the bundt baking fun and look forward to see what you and everyone in the group shares each month.

Bakingyummies says
Just by the looks of it, you can make out how moist that cake is. I’ve used rum only in muffins and ice creams so far but looking at that crumb, I want to try it in cakes ASAP. Delicious looking cake 🙂
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thank you so very much!!
Cheri says
I’ve had this recipe for many years and it’s one of my family’s favorites!
Noshing with the Nolands says
It is so easy and so good Cheri, thanks for coming over!!
Felice/All That's Left Are The Crumbs says
This is one cake I am really looking forward to trying. I remember something similar growing up, and your mention of a long needle being used to poke the holes really brought memories – we used a knitting needle. Unfortunately I do not have any recipes from my grandmother, so maybe this one can take the place of that, and it has a happy history of being baked through the generations.
Noshing with the Nolands says
It was a long needle we used mainly but I remember now at times grabbing a knitting needle too, you have brought back more memories for me now. I hope you try it and enjoy it!! Thanks for coming over Felice!!
Kelster says
This was actually the first Bundt that I made. I’ve made it still many times since – in different flavours and with a from scratch cake. I just love it!
Noshing with the Nolands says
It was probably my first too, thanks for coming over!!
Anne@FromMySweetHeart says
Oh Tara….your photos are just stunning! The cake looks amazing! I thought about doing something rummy or boozy, now I wish I had. I imagine this just melts in your mouth! Beautiful……..
Noshing with the Nolands says
Thanks so much Anne, love a boozy bundt!! Happy Bundt Baking!!
The Ninja Baker says
Oh my goodness, Tara, your photos, your descriptions are making me hungry!
There is something extra-special and extraordinary about a family recipe…I’m guessing it’s the love infused into the cake =)
Noshing with the Nolands says
