Spiced Rum Cake

Spiced Rum Cake

Just a simple little variation on a basic cake, (like the Coconut Coffee cake, Carrot cake, or the cake part of Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Pie) but thought at this time of the year when all is happy and bubbley I’d just post it up! 

Ingredients:

1.5 cups flour (self raising)

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup soya milk (or other, or water. Coconut milk tastes amazing in it!)

1/2 cup oil

1-2 tsp rum essence (or use real rum and decrease milk/water used)

1-2tsp mixed spice

Preheat oven to 180°

1. Mix the wet ingredients (milk, oil, essence/rum). Add the sugar.

2. Add the mixed spice, then the flour. Mix.

3. Put in oven for 15-20minutes or until cooked through.

For a topping we mixed icing sugar, two tablespoons or so of water, one teaspoon rum essence and some mixed spice. Then topped it with dairy free chocolate sprinkles (which most chocolate sprinkles you’d buy commercially are!)

 This was a nice dessert to finish off our Maynooth Christmas dinner, which included a lovely Green curry potato bake
