As a Caribbean girl, I'm making this with a teaspoon of cake spice (ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground clove, ground ginger). Thank you for another great recipe! ❤️

I made this rum cake x2 for a Caribbean themed party. Everyone loved it and received so many compliments. There were no left overs at all! Thank you for this recipe!

Anyone else obsessed with his round, copper cooling rack? 🤩

My husband and I literally just wipped your recipe up and it smells soo good. The rum and butter sauce is like heaven in your mouth 👄I did drizzle a bit of Jamaican overproof rum in it to give it a little extra 🔥 and Lord have mercy on me...it is to die for! Thanks for sharing.

I tried your recipe for the Rum Cake for the Christmas Holidays and it was a major hit. My family loved the cake. It was so moist and delicious. In the past, I made a Spiced Rum Cake using a cake box and vanilla pudding and it was good too but I love this recipe better because it’s from scratch. I prefer baking cakes from scratch. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I did this exact recipe but I did it with Hennessy instead. I made it similar to the Neiman Marcus cake with the brandy soaked raisins at the bottom of my pan so it made like a caramel brandy raisin topping oh my God it was amazing

I wish we could add pics to our comments. I made this 99% to a T of the directions. Except I substituted whipping cream with half&half. Still works great! Such a wonderful recipe. I used a different bundt pan. It's a Nordicware that looks like a circular accordian. Lots of hard, crusty corners that work great with the butter rum sauce!

I had a bad day and I made this cake, (personally, to me baking is therapeutic). Turned out the cake was the best cake I’ve ever made and I felt so cheered up. Thanks John for the recipe ❤️

Preppy kitchen makes us feel at home. The warmth and passion that John displays brightens up an otherwise dreary Christmas, this year.

Just tried this rum cake….OMG…the best ever. My oven at 325 degrees took 60 minutes. I used Captain Morgan’s spiced rum cuz that is what was on hand. I doubled the topping and brushed on 1/3rd of the rendered glaze prior to adding cream to the remaining 2/3rds then….realized I was out of heavy cream I used cream cheese. It worked. Very tasty. Just a dollup on a slice will do.
It would be excellent with fresh berries . The cake had amazing texture.

So I made this cake. But my bundt pan was too small, so I made two 6 inch pans more. This cake was so good I ate one 6 inch by myself secretly from the family.

My mom always made Southern Comfort cake and it was so dang delicious. With pecans it's even better!!

I'm learning a lot watching your videos, plus they're highly entertaining. Thankyou for all the effort you put in

This reminds me of when I was a kid. We would have a pound cake and my Dad would make a 'hard sauce'. He cooked it on the stove using rum and other things I no longer recall. We would have slices of pound cake and the sauce would be poured onto it so the cake would absorb it. It was a wonderful Fall/Winter dessert. Thank you for taking me back to my childhood John. Beso!

I noticed you have a lot of dry stuff at the bottom of your bowl after mixing. This used to happen to me until someone told me about an adjustable screw on the mixer that lowers the top to get the mixing tool closer to the bottom of the bowl. Since then I don't have any more problems with leftover dry ingredients on the bottom, it's been life-changing!
