Q: <strong>Does Banana Rum Cake need to be Refrigerated?</strong>

This banana rum cake is fine to sit at room temperature in an airtight container or under a cake dome for 2-3 days. After that, we recommend moving to the refrigerator for freshness. If you do refrigerate, it is best to move it to room temperature a couple of hours before serving for the very best texture and flavor. This will allow the cake a chance to warm and soften.

Question 2

What type of rum is best for this Banana Rum Cake?

Accepted Answer

We used white rum/light rum for today's cake but dark rum would work great in this recipe also. Light rum has a lighter flavor while dark rum has been aged longer and has a bolder flavor.

Question 3

Does the Alcohol Bake out of a Rum Cake?

Accepted Answer

While a small portion of the alcohol may bake out of the cake, the majority does not.

According to a study from the US Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Data Laboratory, it can take longer than 2 ½ hours for alcohol to fully bake out food. Factors like the baking temperature, method, etc. all play a role (per this alcohol & baking article).
