Chocolate Rum Cake

April 27th, 2011

I made my first frosted classic cake a month ago and it was one of the better things I’ve ever baked, but it took a lot of time to get just right. This past weekend I was in charge of making dessert for a dinner party and wanted something that looked and tasted special, but wouldn’t take the entire day to prepare. I went with my dad’s Chocolate Rum Cake (variation here); an insane merging of chocolate, butter, and rum that takes mere minutes to make and is one of the most decadent ways to end a meal.

That shot of the rum pouring over chocolate looks absolutely dangerous. In a good way, of course.

This looks so delicious and pretty! I’m normally not really a fan of booze in baking, but this might have convinced me to bake one anyway.

I made the Vanilla version around the holidays. I really screwed it up the first time, but the second one came out well. I painted the glaze on top, but I think pouring it on the bottom looks cleaner. Good job! My vanilla version is here:

Whilst this looks absolutely gorgeous, I had a very bad experience with rum which I can’t even talk about without heaving, so I think I will have to give this a miss!! Enjoy

I make this too! Only I substitute espresso liqueur for the rum. It’s pretty delicious. This cake is so pretty sprinkled with powdered sugar and raspberries.
