Next best to the original! On our visit to the Caribbean, we brought home the best Rum Cake I’ve ever had…. in fact it’s the very best of all cakes I’ve ever had!!! I then thought I’d send for some to be shipped to us and found the price to be $35 for the med. size ( I paid $18 on the Island) So my search for the recipe began! You can not purchase Tortuga Rum ANYWHERE except in the Caribbean – Whaler’s Vanille Rum should be a close match. This next best copy-cat comes from Newsgroup Rec.food.recipes.
This chocolate cake is absolutely thee best we have ever had. It is so moist and rich, I never make anything else (unless I am short on time 🙂 The frosting recipe included goes perfectly with this cake, but you can use any frosting you like. Try this once and you’ll see why I call it “The Only Chocolate Cake Recipe You’ll Ever Need”!! Adding 2/18/06: I want to note that I recently used sweetened whipped heavy cream with vanilla and it was just as fabulous as the frosting recipe listed, plus much easier. I also used hazelnut coffee in the cake and it added even more of a little extra something!
My mom used to make this cake when we we were growing up. I love it because it’s light and fluffy. Please note, use an aluminum cake pan for this recipe (we’ve always used an aluminum angel food cake pan). Do NOT use a non-stick pan! I am on a quest to find the recipe for the Chinese bakery cakes. I’m not talking about those Chinese steamed sponge cakes. I’m in search of the fluffy ones that come with the fruit and whipped creamy frosting. If anyone knows this recipe, please forward to me–I will be forever grateful! In the meantime, this cake is the closest thing to it.
