Hi Ali:

Exactly like you said, this cake has become our family’s favorite. I made it the first time last week and my hubby and step-son loved it. I made another one and took it to work. My co-workers loved it. Some asked for the recipe. Others asked when I would bring another one. I will make another one tomorrow for my hubby to take to his office.

The glaze was amazingly delicious. My little problem is it didn’t get soaked in to the cake despite all the little holes of toothpicks. Having said that, the glaze that later formed a crust around the cake was just too good. I scraped all the glaze left on the plate and ate it after the whole cake was gone. This cake has become my family’s regularly made cake. Thanks again, Ali, for sharing the recipe. I will try more of your recipes from the blog and report back. :)

I made this for Easter, it was gone in about 15 min! I made it with drained crushed pinapple, instead of water I used pinapple juice in the cake and the icing. Also, I used ” Whaler’s Vanille Rum ” A wonderfull cake, Thanks for sharing!

Hey Erin!

I’ve heard so many people talk about spiced rum with this! So glad you loved it! Next time I make it, I’m totally going with that — sounds amazing!

I made this cake yesterday and I used regular rum in the cake, but in the glaze I used CAPTAIN MORGAN SPICED RUM. The flavor of the glaze was AMAZING. Next time I will use the spiced rum in both the cake and the glaze. YUM!

I have made the rum cake twice since you posted it. The first one I shared with my neighbors and we all LOVED it. The second one is sitting in my office right now for a lunch party this afternoon. It is soooo tempting. I was thinking this recipe could be tweaked to make an apple cake substituting good apple cider for the rum.

Sweet! Glad it went well, Andrew!

Definitely let me know how things go with the key limes next time — I’m intrigued!!

I made this for Chirstmas and it kicked ass, the family loved it…I used Appleton’s 12 year reserve dark rum and used the suggestion to put the cake back in the pan and poke holes. What a wonderful and easy recipe.

Next time, I’m going to experiment with some Key Limes and see what happens…thanks a bunch!

Hi Kim!

I’ve never actually tried this yet with spiced rum, but had a friend who did and loved it! And I prefer dark rum, but either work well. :)

Enjoy!

Would Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum work or is there a rum that you would recommend – like light or dark?
