Besides Tortuga who else??

[airlink diva]

Hello fellow cruisers!
I'm sailing on the Maasdam in October and have a question!
My parents love rum cake (so do I!!:D ), but I want to know about any other brand besides Tortuga. I'm sailing to St. Kitt's, Barbados, St. Lucia,Domica,St. Martin, St Thomas and I want to know of a local brand that's yummy!
I know there are some cruisers out there with a sweet tooth so confess and let me know!
Happy sailing!!!

That rum cake is fine but I have a home made recipe that is just awesome. Everytime I make it I get asked for the recipe. It's much better then the bought IMO.

Sure, here is the recipe. I think it came from Bacardi rum originally and it's pretty easy. I hope I won't make too many typos.

Rum Cake
1 Cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 18 1/2oz pkg white or yellow cake mix
1 - 4 serving package vanilla instant pudding (not prepared)
4 eggs
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup white rum

Glaze
1/4 cup butter or margerine
2 Tablespoons water
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup white rum

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan or 12 cup bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts on on bottom of pan. Mix all cake ingredients together and beat at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pur batter in pan over nuts. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or till done. Cool in pan for 10 min. Invert cake on rack. Prick holes in top of cake. Prepare glaze by first melting butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Bring to boil, and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Stir in rum. Drizzle glaze over top of cake and sides until glaze is used.

You're recipe sounds delicious. Think I will give it a try too :)
Thank you for sharing.

You know I do believe there is another brand of Rum Cake. I can't remember the name of it but I do remember seeing it in some of the shops on some island.

I personally love the Tortuga ones :)

The plain and the chocolate are my favorites

Just returned from a cruise to Bermuda and they had several options.
Google 'Bermuda rum cakes' and/or 'Horton's rum cakes'.
One may tour the bakery.
Cheers
