Mocha Rum Bundt Cake

Mocha Rum Bundt Cake combines the flavors of mocha and rum into an amazing dessert!

I made this mocha rum bundt cake when my sister came visiting!

Mocha Rum Bundt Cake

 

Some days back I saw this gorgeous looking Chocolate Rum Bundt cake at LifesFeast which was begging to be baked. I love the hint of alcohol in my cakes, the flavor it imparts which lifts the cakes by many notches and contrary to the fact, that its harmful, the alcohol actually evaporates while cooking and baking and its only the flavour which remains, making it completely safe for all to eat.

Once I saw this cake, I bookmarked it and conveniently forgot about it for sometime, till it was time for my sister to come visiting from Delhi and as is the case, most of the times, I had standing instructions to bake something 😉 I clearly had chocolate in my mind and asked some more people what should I bake and while the suggestions were all nice, they were things I had already baked. Deej mentioned Tiramisu and sent me a recipe which looked very doable and inviting and at some point of time I decided I will make it. But I got into some sudden guests and the regular Bangalore allergy and cold. This meant I couldn’t get around making the lady finger biscuits or the sponge cake which would act as a base for it. So the day my sister was landing, I was back at the confusion, what to make and suddenly I recalled the rum cake that I had bookmarked and bingo that was it.

My sister loves coffee so I was clear in  my head that I wanted to incorporate that flavour in it also, so thats how it became mocha from chocolate bundt 🙂

    Orange juice sounds great! You can also just leave it out and add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or a tablespoon of powdered instant espresso. Maybe some grated orange or lemon zest?
