Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a Bundt cake pan to prevent sticking.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, Malibu coconut rum, vegetable oil, and eggs. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes until well blended.
-
Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula for an even finish.
-
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, butter, and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
-
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
-
Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to catch any drips.
-
While the cake is still warm, drizzle the prepared glaze over the top, allowing it to soak into the cake for added moisture and flavor.
-
Let the cake cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, sprinkle some additional shredded coconut on top for a decorative touch before serving.
