What you need:
1 box of Spice Cake Mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup Oil
2/3 cup water
2/3 cup Rum
1/4 cup walnuts
1 TBSP Coffee Grounds
Icing:
Half a container of pre-made Cream Cheese Frosting (1/2 cup)
1/2 Tsp Rum
1 TBSP Milk
How to do it:
Heat oven to 375*
In a food processor combine Walnuts, coffee grounds and oil until walnuts are finely chopped.. if you don't have a food pro. you can do this the fun way and place walnuts in a bag, cover with a towel then hammer with the bottom of a pot or pan. (great for a stressful day- and you get rum at the end... win- win)
In a large bowl mix spice cake mix, water, eggs, rum, and the walnut mixture
Pour mixture into bunt pan or 9x9 cake pans.
My bunt cake took about 40 minutes in a silicon mold, but ovens will vary.
While the cake is baking, in a small bowl combine icing ingredients
When the cake passes the tooth pick test (the tooth pick comes out clean or nearly clean)
Flip out of pan and rest for 5 minutes then while still warm drizzle icing over
** I put the icing in a zip-lock bag and snip a corner, it makes it easier!*
Why it's good:
This is a very yummy cake that would be great for brunch or dessert. The coffee and walnut combo give great texture and depth while the rum is enough without being ridiculous. If you want less rum do 1 cup water/ 1/3 cup rum. I really enjoyed creating this yummy treat. Hope you enjoy it too. Mangia Tutto.
