The Rum Cake Won!

[irieworld]

mmm I would love a slice of that along with a cup of coffee with rum cream in it. My office is freezing cold today and that would warm me right up.

OK, this thread inspired me. I tried it with chocolate cake and chocolate pudding. My suggestion...stick with the yellow cake. The chocolate tends to overpower the rum (believe it or not). It's OK, but the yellow cake is much better.

When you add the rum to the glaze, you have to remove the pot from the heat source....it will still bubble up some though.

I think the chocolate version would be nice if you put some Tia Maria in the glaze, in addition to the rum! That would go great with the chocolate!!

I think I'm going to try this - thanks for posting the recipe.

I made the rum cake for our Jamaica party and it was a hit. Here is a picture:

Here is the whole spread. Hmmm...maybe I should make a thread for those coconut cupcakes. They were heavenly!

Thanks! It was fun to introduce our friends to a taste of Jamaica (or as close as we could get to it).
