Tortuga Cayman Island Rum Cake
Recipes » Desserts » Liqueur Flavored Desserts
The Tortuga Rum Cake story officially began in 1987. That's when Carlene Hamaty started baking rum cakes at home, using a family recipe that had been handed down through generations. She of course used Tortuga Rum as the main ingredient. This recipe is an approximation of the original.
"My go to cake, so easy and my favorite cake to eat. I received a Tortuga Cayman Island Rum cake as a gift and fell in love with this moist cake, so glad I found this recipe. I've made it with rum essence and it wasn't as nice but a decent replacement if no rum around. I use Captain Morgan Spiced Rum" - suzie100Yield: 16 Ready in 2 hours

When in the Cayman Island for holiday, my hubby and I had there cake. They hook you really well with the sample of cake as you walk into a store. Let me tell you, we ended up buying a couple large ones and smaller ones. However, not nearly as many friends got the cakes. We ate our self silly and they really were enjoyed long before we got back. ;-) Yes, I would be that selfish again. It's that good. I hope this recipe is close to it. ;-)
