It’s that time of the year when winter is here and we welcome the New year with joy and sweetness. Rum!Rum! Rum! The tummy goes yum yum yum!
“It’s a Rum Go!”
Winters are the perfect time to bake a Spiced Rum cake with rum soaked dry fruits. Why, you ask is rum good to be had in winters? Rum is hot in nature and if we look at the health benefits of the drink, it can reduce chances of dying at an early age, it thins down the blood, helps cure cold and gives a warm and soothing feeling to the person while also reducing cramps and muscle pain. It is also said that 100 grams of rum can offer 230 calories of energy.
“There was a sound in their voices which suggested rum.” ― Robert Louis Sevenson

NOTES
SOAKED RUM CAKE: If you like the cake to be fluffy and moist and rummy then you can make wholes in the cake and pour the rum sauce while the cake warm. this way the cake gets fully drenched in rum sauce and one can eat it warm.
MAKE AHEAD BUTTERY RUM SAUCE: Make the sauce before time and store in fridge for up to 5 to 6 day. Make sure to heat the sauce before using as the sugar can settle at the bottom and it can make it difficult to pour.
