The History of Rum Cake
The Origins
Did you know that rum cake has been around for centuries? It is believed to have originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. Back then, rum was a popular ingredient in cakes due to its ability to preserve the cake for longer periods of time. This was especially important during the winter months when fresh ingredients were scarce.
The Caribbean Influence
As European explorers and colonizers traveled to the Caribbean, they brought along their love for rum cake. The Caribbean islands quickly became known for their flavorful, moist, and boozy rum cakes. Different islands put their own unique spin on the recipe, incorporating local ingredients such as coconut, pineapple, and spices.
