Evening Under the Stars - Pie & Cakes Virtual Auction

If you've ever traveled to the Caribbean, chances are you've had the amazing rum cakes that the islands are famous for.  Sadly, these cakes are not often found in the northern latitudes but this recipe is the closest I've ever had to the "real" thing.  The addition of banana gives it a moistness akin to banana bread but not as dense.  Yes, there is a lot of rum in this cake, definitely not for the faint of heart but the texture and flavor are unbeatable.  Moist, rich and deeply satisfying.  Whisk yourself away to white sandy beaches with this incredible cake.
