WALNUT RUM CAKE

I know it’s unusual for a rum cake recipe, but I find just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon brings all the flavors together and really plays well off the walnuts and rum!

OR the other fun option, you can soak you rum cake in the sauce. Use a toothpick or fork and poke holes into the cake and pour the sauce on topped let it soak into it.

• 1 cup whole milk

BUTTERY RUM SAUCE:
