"If you've ever traveled to the Caribbean, chances are you've had the amazing rum cakes that the islands are famous for. Sadly, these cakes are not often found in northern latitudes but this recipe is the closest we've ever had to the "real" thing.Yes, there is a lot of rum in this cake, definitely not for the faint of heart but the texture and flavor are unbeatable. Moist, rich and deeply satisfying. Whisk yourself away to white sandy beaches with this incredible cake...."
