CAKE:

1/2 cup brown sugar
3 Eggs
1 Egg yolk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons orange extract
1/2 cup Malibu – coconut rum
1/4 cup sour cream
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/8 teaspoon salt

How to Make Malibu Rum Coconut Bundt Cake
Step 1: Until smooth, cream the butter and sugars. Add in the eggs, extra yolk, and extracts one at a time. Beat on medium-high until completely mixed. Slowly beat in the rum and sour cream.
Step 2: Sift the dry ingredients. Add this to the creamed mixture alternately with the whipping cream and ending with flour. Make sure to mix well between every addition.
Step 3: Into a greased and floured 10-inch Bundt pan, pour the batter and place in the oven. Bake for about 55 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees. It is done when a toothpick inserted in the centre of the cake comes out clean.
Step 4: When done, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Cool completely. To help catch icing off the rack, I suggest placing a sheet under the wire rack.
Step 5: Meanwhile, over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, remove from the heat and immediately whisk on the rum and sugar until you reach a smooth thick glaze consistency.
Step 6: Stir in the coconut before pouring the batter on top of the cooled cake. Spread the icing on the entire cake using a spatula. Spoon the icing back up as they roll off the cake. To garnish, sprinkle the top with extra coconut.
