Instructions
Heat The Oven
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a Bundt pan, or coat it with nonstick spray.
Mix The Dry Ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cake mix, flour, sugar, baking powder, pudding mix, and salt.
Beat The Butter
- In another bowl, beat the softened butter until it’s creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, blending well after each one.
Add The Wet Ingredients
- Pour in the milk, vanilla, coconut oil, and Crown Royal Apple. Mix until everything is smooth.
Bring The Batter Together
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low until the batter is thick and even.
Stir In The Apple And Pecans
- Gently fold in the grated Granny Smith apple and pecans, if you’re using them.
Bake The Cake
- Spread the batter evenly in the Bundt pan. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
Make The Crown Royal Glaze
- In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, vanilla, Crown Royal, and rum. When smooth, remove from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar. Add a splash of milk only if you need to thin it out.
Finish And Serve
- Let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack. While it’s still warm, pour the glaze over the top. Allow it to set before slicing and serving.
