rum cake
Liquor-soaked confection
Rum cake is a dense, moist cake soaked in rum or flavored with rum-based syrup, often made with nuts and dried fruit.
It's popular as a holiday dessert and a Caribbean specialty, particularly associated with the Bahamas and Jamaica.
The rum flavor intensifies as the cake sits, making it a favorite for gift-giving since it keeps well.
