Coconut Flavored Rum Cake For Our Memorial Day Breakfast At the Park

Updated on May 23, 2015

Rum Cake for Memorial Day

I found a recipe for Bacardi Rum cake. I didn't have Bacardi Rum but I did have Parrot Coconut Rum. I tweaked the recipe a bit and decided to do it my way.

This is a great cake to take on picnics. There isn't anything in it that will go bad in the heat and it doesn't have to be refrigerated. In fact I am making this for our annual family cook out on Memorial Day. My sisters and our husbands always rent a pavilion on Memorial Day at our local state park, Francis Slocum State Park. We go up early in the morning with our coffee and what we want to go with it and this year I am bring this rum cake. My sisters always bring something also and we share. Our families come up after and it's always so nice to have that time to ourselves, enjoying the view the beautiful lake and breakfast.

This is a really easy cake to make; hope you give it a try. Don't worry about the coconut part either, my daughter who absolutely hates coconut never tasted it and loved the cake.

The Glaze

Do you see the glaze running down the sides of the cake? You poke holes in the top and spoon the glaze on top and let some of it run down. That super delicious glaze makes the cake so very moist and rich.

Sisters, husbands, children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and even great grandchildren for one of my sister. This is a great time for us. With everyone's busy lives, it hard to get together during the year. We enjoy our state park, Francis Slocum Park. Francis Slocum was a little girl that was captured by the Indians and was thought of as a god because she had red hair.
