Bicardi Rum Cake

Recipes » Desserts » Cakes

This is such a delicious, easy and crowd pleasing cake. The flavors meld well after a day or two and it freezes very well so is a great make-ahead to have on hand for unexpected company, but I bet it won't last long enough.

"I've made alot of good rum cakes. This one is the BEST! I love the
richness from the milk. I've also tried making this with butterscotch pudding. It boosts the flavor even more. It doesn't read as butterscoth, just richer. And it adds a nice color. My husband says it makes it taste more "golden". I cut the sugar in the glaze a bit. But only because I love the bite of
good rum. Thanks for sharing!!! " - Juleek

	You need to revise you butter to 1stick not 1 butter so everyone will know. elizabethbigred 8 months, 1 weeks, 5 days, 16 hours, 48 minutes ago
	I made this last week it was the bomb!!! Now I have a few family members want me make them one. Miashia 8 months, 2 weeks, 6 days, 22 hours, 36 minutes ago
	Very good rosaliebrewersimpson 8 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 17 hours, 25 minutes ago
	We have been making this for years at xmas time except we use spiced rum. It tastes better on about the third day. Great with a scoop of ice cream Rcchica 1 years, 1 days, 12 hours, 54 minutes ago
	My grandmother has made this for years, now I do. Every Christmas I make this cake as gifts. I use spiced rum or dark rum. mommyyoder 1 years, 4 days, 16 hours, 22 minutes ago
	I prefer a strong taste of spicy rum Kraken worked wonderfully. you could also use Captain Morgans. sheris 1 years, 1 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, 12 hours, 3 minutes ago
	I made this without the nuts upon request. The cake was really strong! Next time I will continue to heat the glaze after adding the rum to kill some of the potency. Humbug3 1 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 7 hours, 2 minutes ago
	This recipe rocks. I give it my own little personal touches, and I get more compliments and requests for this cake. BlueDiva 1 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 9 hours, 1 minutes ago
	I've done this recipe two years in a row now and have had nothing but great things said about....Really good!!!! Kynamo1 1 years, 4 months, 3 weeks, 4 days, 14 hours, 26 minutes ago
	This is the EXCAT recipe that my mom has used since the 1960s! I've never come across it before! Letting the cake sit covered in an airtight container for a couple days allows the cake to absorb the glaze. Yum! Harlow0326 1 years, 5 months, 1 days, 3 hours, 5 minutes ago
