If you’re dreaming of the ultimate comfort dessert—something rich, aromatic, and stunning on the table—this is it.

In this article, you’ll find everything that makes a fall cake unforgettable: velvety pumpkin, warm spice, dark brown sugar, and the unmistakable depth of Kōloa Spice Rum. Baked to a golden finish in a bundt pan and finished with a glossy Kōloa Dark Rum glaze, this pound cake is a true showstopper. The glaze is more than just a drizzle—it seeps gently into the ridges, creating a rum-kissed caramel effect that coats every slice.

This is the kind of cake that makes the whole kitchen smell like fall. It’s moist, flavorful, and simple to make—but special enough to become your go-to for holiday tables, brunches, or just-because baking days.
