Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Set oven rack to second-lowest position. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
Step 2
In a small bowl combine the toasted pecans with 1/4 cup packed brown sugar. Sprinkle into the bundt pan.
Step 3
In a large bowl beat remaining 1 cup brown sugar, 3/4 white sugar, 1/4 cup soft butter, eggs, 3/4 cup oil and vanilla extract until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes, no sugar granules should remain and make sure to beat no less than 3 minutes). Beat in pumpkin puree until blended.
Step 4
In another bowl combine the flour with baking powder, baking soda, salt and the next 4 spices; add to the wet mixture beating on low speed until just combined. Transfer to bundt pan.
Step 5
Bake for about 50 minutes or until cake tests done. Allow to cool in pan for 10 minutes then remove the cake to a wire rack.
Step 6
For the rum syrup; in a small saucepan melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and 3 tablespoons water; bring to a boil stirring until the sugar is dissolved and thickened (about 3 minutes). Stir in the rum and bring to a boil, then boil for 1 minute. Brush the syrup over the cake.
