Vegan Jamaican Rum Cake (Raw/Unbaked)
This one has been percolating in my mind for a while. Early on in our Yummy Cottage test kitchen days, we started selling raw carrot cakes, which I like a lot. Ever since then, I began toying with the idea to make a rum cake version. It took a while, but I finally got around to it. The moment I took my first taste, I knew it was right. This raw vegan version may not be the original Jamaican Rum Cake my grandmother Mama used to make, but I am sure she would be proud.
This cake has a lot of moving parts, so make sure to set everything up before starting. You will need walnuts, coconut oil, coconut flour, a bowl, a blender, a food processor and more but trust it will be worth it. Traditional fruit cake makers will tell you to soak your fruit in rum for months or even a year, but here three days soaked in some Jamaican White Rum and Red Wine will do the trick.
Check out the recipe below, and remember to keep your eyes on the prize.
If time is not on your side, there is always another option. We here at the Yummy Cottage have worked to take the guesswork out of the process. We created these cool Jamaican Rum Cake Kits. They come with (soaked fruits, mixed base, and prepped icing). All you have to do is drain, mix, and blend and in a few hours, your cake will be ready.
