Notes

  • Rum Cake would never fail if you just keep some hints in mind. First of all, all ingredients must be at room temperature. Cold, frozen or refrigerated eggs, mixes, water… would leave the cake doughy.
  • Preheating the oven is key to the success of the recipe. Before putting the cake in, preheat the oven for 5-10 minutes
  • Do not open the oven door before, at least, 30 minutes of baking time. Otherwise, the cake will sink and not rise.
  • Test the readiness of the cake by inserting a toothpick into its middle. If the toothpick comes out dry and clean, then the cake is ready.
