Try:
Get a can of fancy sweet cherries. Make a good chocolate devils food cake. Drain the cherries, mix the cherry juice with equal parts of rum and sprinkle lightly on the cake layers. (should not be soggy.) Make a good chocolate butter cream frosting, then beat lots of rum into the buttercream. Use extra chocolate, because the rum will soften the buttercream. Assemble the cake, using very thin layers of butter cream between the layers. Thicken the left over rum/cherry juice with rice flour (or corn starch) and serve with thin slices of the cake. I had that on the menu as a Demon Rum Cake. The rum cuts the sweetness of the buttercream, and the buttercream hides the amount of the rum. Brides would taste it, love it, and order it. But, their guests would end up drunk. Aaron "Allaya Diep" wrote in message news:ZJb_a.32384$ff.20988@fed1read01... Hmmm...who has a really good rum cake recipe?

My co-workers had a great time laughing at me and they divvied my work up between them so I wouldn't be a menace to my patients. I had *no* idea that she poured a whole FIFTH of rum over a 9-inch cake!!!!!!!!!! No wonder I was loaded with such a little sliver! LittleBit I thought when any kind of liquor was cooked/baked - it lost its alcoholic properties. You had the flavour, but not the "punch". ??????? Shelagh Depends on whether you add the alcohol to the mixture (I do) before baking or spoon the alcohol over the cooked cake (stabbing it first with a skewer) before storing and 'ageing' it. The first method is less hazardous to sobriety! The second suitable only for adults! Claire who is now thinking ahead to Christmas, with all this talk of fruitcakes and alcohol. |
