Chocolate Spice Cake with Rum Glaze.

[moireach]

I cobbled this together from several different recipes, and it came out wonderfully. The taste is nicely intense, and not overly sweet.

Nope, the cake is super moist on its own!

Looks delicious and so moist!

[moireach]

It really is -- that's why I adapted this recipe, rather than go with any actual chocolate spice cake recipes out there. Moistness is a must.

My Goodness...Rum Glaze is just what I 'need' :)
I'm going to make this pronto pronto

[moireach]

It literally took less than five minutes to make -- I had no idea such power was at my fingertips!

I did end up making this. It turned out lovely, I was a bit surprised because the mixture was so thin...I was tempted to add more flour to try and thicken it up a bit, so I'm glad that I never.

The glaze was delicious, I served the glaze in a little white jug and we poured it over our slice of the cake.

Wow looks great! Do you think I could use Bailey's instead of rum for the glaze?

[moireach]

Hmmm, I don't think I'd use Bailey's in this recipe (much as I adore Bailey's) because I don't know how it'd behave if boiled (would it curdle? Separate?), and I don't think you'd want to pair it with butter.

I googled it and found a recipe where you just combine 3/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream and 1 cup powdered sugar, without heating, to make a Bailey's glaze, which sounds like it'd work.

Ah thanks for checking that for me :)

I made my 1st bundt cake today using this recipe. YUM! It came out so good. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

Aw, yay, that's awesome! I'm so glad.
