I'm not a person that likes to make long blog posts, unless it's a recipe my parents and I came up with. But the first time I made this cake, without even tasting it, I decided "Never again." Not because it was a bad cake, but because it was too much stress for me to deal with.
First of all, it started with adding the oil before I was supposed to. Then I forgot the rum, so it became the Pumpkin Bundt Cake with Maple. Then the mixer attacked me with dry ingredients, and was so full it refused to mix, so I had to use my whisk instead. I think I missed some parts of it.
Then the cake actually baked. That went without a problem. But I forgot to make the glaze, so we ate it without.
It's a very heavy cake, and I could only get a good picture here. The taste was fine, but it was still a terror to actually bake.
If you have the rum, the energy, and the patience, I say you should do it. The cake was good even without the glaze, and my mom said it was perfect with coffee. I still don't think I'd make it again, but I'm blogging it with the link, so it's there if I change my mind.
