Directions:Preheat oven to 325° F. Lightly brush your mini bundt pans with cooking oil and put a few teaspoons of chopped pecans in the bottoms.
Cakes Cream together butter and sugar. Add the rest of the ingredients except chocolate chips and blend for 2 minutes on medium speed. Fold in chocolate chips. Fill mini bundts 4/5 full and bake for 10 -15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool until lukewarm before removing the cakes from the pan (about 5 minutes). Cool completely Use a skewer, cake tester or dry spaghetti noodle to poke holes in the cakes. Slowly drizzle rum soaking syrup over the cakes a few teaspoons at a time so that the syrup soaks in. Cover with saran wrap and let sit overnight. To garnish, top with whipped cream and raspberries or drizzle top with white chocolate ganache. Rum Soaking Syrup In a small saucepan combine the butter, water and sugar. Bring it to a boil and then cook for about 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm. Add rum and vanilla. White Chocolate Ganache Break chocolate bar into pieces. Put in a small bowl with milk.

Notes: If you don't have mini bundt pans, you can use a muffin pan. You will probably need to cook for 20-25 minutes. To make a large bundt cake, double the recipe and bake for 50-55 minutes.
