Gah this reminds me of the time a middle aged secretary at a white shoe firm who gave us a homemade rum cake one year. This was over 10 years ago and I still remember how delicious this was. Wish I had the recipe!

This is great, but don't use dark rum. We like a clear flavored rum - passion fruit is my choice.

I am reviving this thread, as I make rum
Cakes a lot (contributed recipes above) but my mom loves a rum cake and it’s her birthday on Wednesday and I’m looking for yet another new one to try. Anyone have anything additional to recommend?

I used the Bacardi recipe and it is a crowd pleaser every time!

I’ve made this one - it’s neat with the coffee spun - and if you can’t find coffee extract, it’s easy to make yourself, which is what I did https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/coffee-baba-au-rhum

My friend makes award winning rum name and she uses -- plot twist -- Duncan Hines cake mix to kick it off

This is either a red herring to throw us off her very secret recipe or a challenge for DCUM to engineer and create "the DCUM Rum Cake"
I'm in, and it's not even Christmas!

Any recipe is fine. The two secrets are to sift all dry ingredients, and to add an extra 1/4 to 1/2 cup more rum than called for when you soak it.

Does anyone have a recipe they can recommend?
