Recipe: Rum Cake

I made coconut rum cake last night. Yummers!

Rum Cake

Preheat oven to 325 F

1 yellow or white cake mix
1 container of vanilla pudding
4 eggs
.5 cup cold milk
.5 cup rum

1 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

Mix cake ingredients (except for the nuts -- pour the nuts into the bottom of either a bundt cake pan or a tube pan). Pour the batter into the pan, over the nuts. Cook for ~1 hour (Obviously a bit less if your oven runs hot). Remove when done and let the cake cool a bit.

For the glaze:

1 stick of butter
.25 cup water
1 cup of sugar
.5 cup rum (or up to 1 cup , to taste)

In a saucepan, melt the butter. When that's melted, add the water and the sugar, and boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, stir in the rum. Then you pour the glaze on the cake as it sits in the pan.

Once it soaks up the glaze, then carefully remove the cake, and voila!

Drink: Thank You Kindly

Another one from the back of my brain. I can't vouch for it fully, as it's been years. I may need to conduct retesting of these, for mixological rigor...

Thank You Kindly

1 shot Cointreau
1 shot Campari
1 shot Amaretto
2 dashes of Bitters
1 slice of lemon

Pour into a Collins glass and serve over ice and stir a bit and garnish with a slice of lemon.

Drink: Stinking Vicar

The Stinking Vicar was a drink recipe I made from around 2005, maybe 2006, in my first bloggy-blog, one of a half-dozen or more recipes I had there. Sadly, the original formulas are lost to time and space, since I immolated that blog in '06, but here is my rough memory of this one -- keep in mind that I'm drawing from memory, here...

Stinking Vicar

1 shot Cointreau
1 shot Triple Sec
1 bottle Chinotto
3 dashes Bitters
1 maraschino cherry

Pour Cointreau and Triple Sec in a Collins glass over ice. Then pour a bottle of Chinotto over it, and add Bitters. Gently stir. Garnish with a red maraschino cherry.
