There’s something about bundt cakes that are just so visually appealing. They’re a fancy, no-fuss dessert which I love! I wanted to test this gluten free bundt cake recipe out so I can make and enjoy with my family after Christmas dinner. I’ve really been enjoying experimenting with GF recipes, lately. Can you tell?
Rum raisin cake was at the top of my baking list for the holidays. The rum flavor in this cake isn’t too bold but just right. It mainly comes from the raisins that have been soaked in dark rum, overnight. Make sure to plan ahead for this. There is also a bit of rum in the chocolate glaze. I haven’t made many recipes with liquor other than bread pudding recipes such as our bread pudding without eggs but I’m definitely looking forward to exploring more of them!
What kind of rum should I use?
I personally recommend using a dark rum for this recipe. I can’t say for sure what the outcome would be with white rum. The one I used was a spiced dark rum by Sailor Jerry.
Top tip
Remember to soak your raisins in rum overnight. Doing this step ahead of time will amplify the rum flavor in your gluten free bundt cake.
What if I don’t have a bundt pan?
You can always bake this in two cake pans for a layered cake or in a 13×9 baking dish. Just adjust the baking times, accordingly.
Substitutions
You can easily make this recipe dairy free. Do this by using vegan butter and vegan chocolate chips for the rum and chocolate glaze. If you don’t have any vegan butter, you can also use coconut oil. The texture reminds me of pound cake and the level of moisture is ideal. I have a feeling this bundt cake recipe will quickly become a favorite and I hope you give it a shot.
Storage
I recommend storing this cake at room temperature in an airtight container or in a cake storage container. Cake will keep well for up to 5 days.

Hi Martha,
Yes, all-purpose flour should work just fine 🙂
