With tropical citrus flavors - and of course lots of rum - this cake evokes memories of lazy days spent on pink sand beaches. Bring paradise home this summer with this traditional Bermuda rum cake!
Known for its amazing pink beaches and crystal clear waters, Bermuda holds a special place in my family's heart. My parents first discovered this beautiful island in 1983, and fell in love with everything Bermuda has to offer. They went back for their honeymoon in 1986, and have since revisited with my sister and I multiple times. We were planning on visiting Bermuda again this summer, but will not be able to due to Coronavirus travel restrictions. My mother's birthday is coming up. I baked her a rum cake for her birthday, and to bring a bit of Bermuda to her!
Rum cake is a traditional dessert in Bermuda. It is made using Gosling's black seal rum, which is distilled on the island. Gosling's rum is a source of pride for Bermudians. Bermuda rum cake is distinctive from other Caribbean style rum cakes due to its use of this Gosling's black seal rum which gives it a unique flavor.
I found this recipe on Rocky Mountain Cooking's site, and made some minor changes to add the flavors of lemon and vanilla that are indicative of our favorite rum cakes from the Bermuda Rum Cake Company.
