Ingredients
- 2/3 cup dark, aged Caribbean rum
- 3/4 cup of fresh buttermilk
- 1 cup light, fluffy cake flour
- 3 tablespoons of softened butter
- 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of diced or chopped fruit
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (optional)
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and rum. In a separate bowl, combine the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, cloves,nutmeg and salt and whisk to combine.
- In a separate large bowl, use a stand or hand mixer to beat butter and brown sugar on high speed until light and fluffy. Slowly add the buttermilk and rum mixture to the bowl and mix until combined. Add the dry flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the diced or chopped fruit, then pour the batter into the greased cake pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- To serve, sprinkle the top of the cake with grated lemon zest and dust lightly with cinnamon, if desired.
