Ohhhhh rum cake, looks great.

Anything with rum, I'm in for sure.

 

[mar52]

That looks mighty nice, but why's the slice so thin?

Great job Sapo. Ya know about the drunkest driver I ever seen in my life was a seasoned citizen lady about 80 who was in the process of making a rum cake. Had to make a run to the store because she forgot something. Whew..she was driving bad. She twanged the breathalyzer as them things was called back in them days..with twanging meaning she spun the dial way aroun past low..and medium and was all the way over into Hot. I axed her politely, "How did you get so drunk?" She say, "Well I was at home making a rum cake and decided to just have a few sips of rum outta the bottle." Made sense to me Think she wound up with a courtesy transport back home. The moral of the story is..don't let this happen to you. Dont eat too much of that cake either..it could work the same way.

Because I am going to eat the whole thing and want to savor the flavor...

 

[ScottyDaQ]

Looks great Sapo!

 

[Griff]

Looks really good SS. bw I think most, but not all, of the ethanol cooks out when the cake is baked.

 

[Tannehill Kid]

Oh yeah. Looks goood.

 

[bigwheel]

Well Senor Griff mi Amigo..it depend on how you make the cake Some are allowed to simmer for years in various versions of the debils jurine after cooking which I dont think gonna influence the alchyhol content toward the low side. Think maybe you best stick with wrestling eskimoke ladies and having marital relatiions wth Polar Bears. Now I did not read Sapo's recipe too close cuz I already had it figgered out he was burning up and wasting all that good hooch. Now I can deliver you a Rum cake which would make a normal person drunk. Now is you normal? That is the question

This cake the rum baked out.. My last one would get you drunk but it didn't taste so good.

 

[Griff]

Point well taken. If you bake and then soak it with booze, it's a whole different thing. Although I'm of the opinion that pouring good booze on a cake is a waste.

 

[BayouChilehead]

Looks good Sapo, wouldn't mind having a slice of that myself!!

 

[john a]

Looks great, send some my way please.

Amen to that! I'd rather have a drink with a piece of cake. What would happen if you didn't like the cake? You could always keep drinking your drink!

I had to stop at the store just last week while in Tx to get my 80 year old grandmother some Bacardi. That looks super good SS.
