Use this easy banana rum cake recipe for a moist, flavorful cake made with dark rum, mashed bananas, and yellow cake mix.
Ingredients
Frosting
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cake
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
- 1 cup mashed bananas
- 2/3 cup dark rum
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
Make the cake: Stir cake mix, bananas, rum, water, pecans, eggs, and baking soda in a large bowl until combined, then beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into the prepared pans.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pans on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen cakes; invert carefully onto a cooling rack and let cool completely, about 25 more minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat butter in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually mix in confectioners sugar; blend thoroughly. Mix in rum and vanilla until smooth.
Step 5
Spread frosting on cooled cake tops, then stack layers and frost sides.
Tips
If you'd like to use a Bundt pan, bake for about 50 minutes.
