This cake was, as all of your recipes I’ve tried, fantastic. Served it with whip cream spiked with more rum and brown sugar. This is one classy dessert!

I made this cake last night, and it was delicious! I used Malibu instead of dark rum, because thats what I had. I also baked it for 1hr 30min instead of 1hr 50mins. It turned out perfect. I brought it into work this morning, and it’s almost already gone. Thanks for the recipe!

Since I’d never baked anything before, much less made a whole cake, I followed the recipe to the letter. Or tried to, at least… unexpected things kept coming up, and then the oven temp kept falling below 300 for some reason. I ended up keeping the cake in there for 2hrs and 10min.

The end result probably wasn’t as perfect as it could have been for a more experienced cook, but I thought it was tasty in a way that no store-bought cake could ever be. Dare I say, maybe even better than what I’d have gotten from most bakeries. I took it to my office potluck party and got several compliments. Not bad for my first cake, I think.

I loved the rich chocolate flavor, though I did hope to taste the rum more. Maybe next time I’ll go all-out with two cups of rum and 1/3 cups espresso – anyone tried that?

This cake is a huge win! It’s like a top-notch version of a moist, dense, chocolatey brownie. In mine, both the coffee and rum flavors are pretty subtle; next time I’ll break out the dark rum instead of the golden, and stronger coffee. Plus, it’s enormous, and a sliver is plenty for even the heartiest dessert lover. Thank you!
