Bacardi Rum Cake: The Only Cake That Gets Better With Age

You don't have to be a Bacardi Rum drinker to enjoy this tasty cake. This tried-and-true recipe makes the moistest cake you'll ever eat. In fact, it's the one cake that gets better with age. Although, most of the time it doesn't last very long in your refrigerator due to the temptation to have more than one bite. It's also the perfect cake to send as a gift through the mail because the rum acts as the perfect preservative. It freezes beautifully also. Simply put, a Barcardi Rum Bundt Cake is the perfect dessert choice for almost any occasion.

A Proven Favorite

I have made this Bacardi Rum Cake many, many times. It is not only the perfect dessert, but I've had house guests who wanted it for breakfast. My husband keeps threatening to use it for French toast. I personally think that it'll never get dry enough as it stays moist a long time. The longer this cake sits, the better the taste. Many of these cakes have been shipped to soldiers overseas. One woman wrote to me to say she baked hers in canning jars and then shipped them to her husband overseas.
