Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this rum cake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This rum cake can be made a day or two in advance. In fact, the flavors often intensify as it sits. Just be sure to store it properly in an airtight container to maintain its moisture.
What can I use instead of light rum?
If you prefer not to use rum, you can substitute it with a non-alcoholic rum extract mixed with water for a similar flavor. Alternatively, fruit juices like pineapple or orange juice can add a unique twist to the cake.
Can I add frosting to this cake?
While the rum cake is delicious on its own, you can certainly frost it if you like. A simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or a cream cheese frosting would complement the flavors nicely.
