Add eggs two by two to the cream and butter mixture and mix until it comes together. Add pumpkin purée, black rum, molasses and buttermilk. Mix together for one minute. Add dry ingredients and fold in. Spray a large Bundt cake pan and pour mixture into it. Bake at 350°F for 35 – 40 minutes until done.
Remove cake from pan and place on cooling rack.
Cream Cheese Glaze:
Whisk together all ingredients until it has a smooth silky consistency. Pour on top of the cake.
Candied Pecan Crumble:
Toss pecans in sugars (white & brown) and bake at 350°F for 7 – 10 minutes. Heat a medium size pot and place pecans in. Stir until sugar caramelized & coats the pecans. Remove from heat and cool.
