Ingredients

This old school sponge cake is made with regular ingredients such as,

Dark Rum – This is the star ingredient, that makes this rum cake unique and different from others. It has a bold rum flavor, that tastes just amazing with the moist and spongy cake.

Make sure to use a good quality rum for the best taste.

You can use any dark rum you like the most for this cake. I used Old Monk which is my all-time fav dark rum.

You can also use Bacardi dark rum or Meyer’s dark rum. Spiced rum-like captain morgan or coconut rum like Malibu also works well in this recipe. You can also use half malibu and half white rum or only white rum to make this cake.

Walnuts – To add a little crunch, I have added walnuts. You can also go for pecan or even almonds.

Other Ingredients – Other Than dark rum, we will need basic ingredients required for baking a cake, such as – all-purpose flour, corn starch, baking powder, unsalted butter, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract.

You can also use other flour such as whole wheat flour for a healthy alternative, but the taste and texture will differ a bit.

Baking Powder helps the cake to rise. You can also substitute eggs with other ingredients such as yogurt, applesauce, ground flax seeds, etc for an eggless version.

You can also add orange zest or lemon zest in this cake batter, to make it extra taste and flavourful.
