A Taste of Tradition: Bake a Boozy Eggless Plum Rum Cake at Home

Christmas wouldn’t be complete without a slice of the classic rum-soaked plum cake. This rich, fruity cake is a delightful indulgence, bursting with flavors of dried fruits, nuts, and warm spices, all perfectly balanced with the subtle sweetness of rum. It’s not just a dessert, it’s a tradition – a warm embrace of the festive season.

While there are many variations of this beloved cake, today we’ll share a recipe that’s both delicious and achievable for home bakers. So, gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to create a Christmas masterpiece!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ½ tsp ground nutmeg
• ¼ tsp ground cloves
• 1 ½ cups mixed dried fruits (raisins, cranberries, chopped apricots, etc.)
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
• ½ cup dark rum
• ½ cup orange juice
• ½ cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
• ½ cup condensed milk

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or bundt cake pan.
2. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add condensed milk.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice and cooled coffee. Mix until just combined.
4. Stir in the dried fruits and chopped nuts.
5. In a small bowl, warm the rum. Do not microwave! Briefly heat on the stovetop over low heat, just until warm. Slowly add the rum to the cake batter, mixing well.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

• Soak the dried fruits in rum overnight for an extra burst of boozy flavor.
• For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
• Wrap the cooled cake in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. The flavors will develop even more over time.
• If you prefer a stronger rum taste, brush the top of the cake with additional rum while it’s still warm.
