Mmmmmm ..... rum .... This week's Tuesday's with Dorie assignment, Rum Drenched Vanilla Cakes, comes from Wendy of Pink Stripes. You can get the recipe at Pink Stripes or you can find it on pages 226 and 227 of Dorie Greenspan's "Baking: From My Home to Yours". This cake is super easy to make and comes together in a single bowl! I halved the recipe, also easy to do if you are mathmatically challenged as I am, and got six mini bundt cakes. The batter was smooth as silk and honestly, I would have been perfectly content to sit down with the bowl and eat it with a spoon!
I mentioned previously, that it's strawberry season in these parts so I have an overabundance of berries (22 pounds at one point)! Although the cakes were delicious on their own, I topped mine with strawberries and freshly whipped, lightly sweetened whipped cream. So good!
Please visit the rest of the TWD bakers and see how they did this week.

You cakes are adorable! As someone who is also mathematically challenged, I love it when Dorie's recipes are easy to divide. :D
Mmm, fresh strawberries and cream...so summery!
You have my office address. please ship.
I love your mini bundts! 22 POUNDS of berries!!! HOLY! That is amazing!
The fresh strawberries and whipped cream look like a great addition! I bet it was delicious!
Your cakes are gorgeous! I am also mathematically challenged, so I was pleased this recipe was easy to divide in half! :-)
Topping these with berries is a perfect idea!! Gorgeous!
Dressing this up a bit makes a major difference.
Your mini looks so good with the strawberries and whipped cream. It's like a strawberry daiquiri cake!
Your cake is so cute and I loved the idea of strawberries!
We have the same mini bundt pan. ;-)
vanilla cake and strawberries sound like a great combo, yum!
These look great as mini bundts! I have to get one of those pans. I bet the strawberries and cream were a great addition.
these were a perfect foundation for anything. but also good by itself. looks delicious with the strawberries and cream
love the look of them with strawberries- perfectly summery
Your mini bundt cakes with strawberries and cream look delicious! I loved the ease of preparation as with most pound cakes, you have to cream the butter and sugar.
