This recipe was just wonderful! I tasted Baba au Rhum years ago and this is better than what I remembered. The rum flavor is very strong...soooo, if you do not drink alcohol or like the taste that much, I would steer clear! Very rich!!

Been looking for a great Baba au Rhum recipe and this is IT! A lot of work but worth it. The rum is very pronounced as it should be but probably not for tea-totalers




Wonderful!

I made this fairly late at night and didn't even try it till morning... It was still great, and was enjoyed for several days! The syrup made a sort of lightly candied-cake texture after the cake had "aged" for a day or so. The cake itself is only lightly sweet (which I love) and the syrup is not overpowering.http://images.foodnetwork.com/webfood/images/myrecipebox/submit.gif

Amazing taste, tender and sweetness. But not too sweet. Ease to bake.

Best rum cake ever

Ive made this twice. The first time was successful but not sensational. I used a gold rum as I didn't have a good dark rum on hand and the nearest liquor/grocery is ten miles away. Yes I live in the sticks. The 2d time I used a good dark rum and used a full cup instead of the 2/3 cup called for in the recipe. I served it at a new years day party and got rave reviews. It was terrific and I didn't have to say so myself. I also got many complements on the made from scratch whipped cream. People are so used to "whipped toppings " and whipped cream in an aerosol that they have forgotten just how wonderful real whipped cream is
