Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan or spray it with non-stick baking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the milk and the Malibu Rum or 99 Bananas liqueur.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk and rum mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined after each addition to avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then gently invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, Malibu Rum or 99 Bananas liqueur, and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more powdered sugar or milk as needed.
Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides for a decorative look.
Slice and serve your Malibu Rum or 99 Bananas Cake. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
