Martha Stewart's Mini Rum Bundt Cakes Makes 9 servings
Ingredients
For the cakes: 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature, plus more for pans 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pans 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 tablespoons dark rum 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 5 large eggs
For the glaze: 2 cups confectioners’ sugar 1 tablespoon rum, plus up to 1 1/2 teaspoons more, if needed 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk
Directions
1. Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 325°F. Generously butter nine 1-cup mini Bundt pans; dust with flour, tapping out excess. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Combine buttermilk and rum in a glass measuring cup. 2. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce speed to medium. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk mixture and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until just combined. 3. Fill each pan with about 1/2 cup batter; tap pan on counter. Bake until tops spring back when lightly touched, edges begin to pull away from pan, and a cake tester comes out clean, 18 to 25 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 10 minutes; turn out cakes onto rack to cool completely. (Cakes can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.) 4. Make the glaze: Whisk together confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon rum, and milk until smooth, adding more rum if needed to reach desired consistency. Set cakes on a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle 1 1/2 tablespoons glaze over each cake.
