Jamaican Rum Cake image

I made this over the weekend. It was so good, and moist. The norm would be to bake it in a bundt pan, but I turned them into cupcakes so everyone would have their own without fighting for a slice. I soaked 4 stalks of vanilla beans in the rum for a month before using, it had a very nice familiar smell you would find in Rum and Raisin ice cream. For an added oomph, top it up with some rum flavoured butter icing or rum glaze.

Yield 1 cake, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 eggs
1 tablespoon grated lime zest
1 cup heavy cream (35%)
3/4 cup dark rum

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F

  • Cream butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Stir in vanilla and eggs, mix well.
  • Add the lime zest and rum. Stir well to combine.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the heavy cream and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix between additions until well combined.
  • Grease a bundt cake pan with some butter. Pour batter into the pan and bake for approximately an hour or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
