How many slices can you get from our 6” or 8” cake?#
Our 6 inch (15cm) un-iced Rum Cake provides 7 to 14 slices.
The 8 inch (20cm) un-iced Rum Cake provides 15 to 22 slices.
What kind of alcohol should I use if your cake becomes dry?#
Traditionally, rum or sherry are all good. Remember to buy the best quality bottle you can afford. We use Wray and Nephew as this is a Jamaican rum cake.
Adding all the booze at once will just saturate the cake and leave it soggy and the flavours won’t develop, so be patient, add little bits at a time and you’ll end up with a beautifully rich rum cake!
