Hi! Would it be possible for the KAF crew to feature RUM CAKE from scratch? I've been searching for those for quite sometime now but I keep getting the Rum Cake that is made from mixes and I don't want that.
I'm looking for a rum cake made with butter and another recipe of rum cake that uses oil instead. and how can i make that into chocolate version?
Hi Nicole - You should send this request to Susan Reid (susan.reid@kingarthurflour.com), as she often works on remaking "box mix" recipes via The Baking Sheet, our print newsletter, of which she's editor. I love those rum cakes, too - If it were me, I'd simply make a good yellow cake, flavor with butter-rum flavor, bake in a tube pan, and brush with rum mixed with simple syrup, or simply rum/sugar heated very briefly to dissolve the sugar. Ditto with a good chocolate cake recipe. Hope this helps - PJH
