Rum Cake: From Scratch Taste without Baking from Scratch

Posted by Dylan Deleto  |  Posted in cake  |  Posted on: 22-12-2009

Rum cake is one of my family’s favorite desserts for the holiday. Everyone loves it and many have begged for my recipe, which I happily share. One of my wife’s friends actually wanted to market my cake. However, I am not in the commercial baking business and so I passed on the idea. When I originally started baking rum cakes, I baked them completely from scratch. To save time, soon I came up with a way to prepare my rum cake in only about 10 minutes using store purchased baking mix, without sacrificing any of the magic of my cake.

I begin with a cake mix, which eliminates a lot of the work. My favorite mix to use is Duncan Hines. However, I am sure that almost any cake mix might work as well. Typically, I use the yellow butter of french vanilla mix. Both turn out very well, so it just depends on your preference. I recommend that you try both.

I tend to make of a number of variations of the cake by adding or omitting nuts and/or pineapples. The main version of the cake includes pineapples with nuts on the bottom. I am really the only in family who likes the nuts so I typically leave them out. When I do add nuts, I prefer black walnuts. Sometimes, I use different flavored rums as well: spice rum, vanilla rum, banana rum, etc. The rum sauce is optional after the cake is done. I don’t think it is a rum cake without the sauce soaked into the cake.

What makes the recipe great is that there no sacrifice in taste and the preparation time is a mere 10 minutes. It does require about 1 hour to bake in the oven.

The aroma of the cake leads people into the kitchen and you will have to fight them off to avoid cutting the cake before it cools. It tastes really good once the rum sauce soaks in. The only problem with the cake is that you will probably end up baking 2 or 3.
