| La Befana's Weakness - Sailor Jerry Rum Cake |
Now she either wants another tattoo or she wants to mince words with him for giving her a tattoo when she was under the influence of his spiced golden rum. He has passed on, but she still searches for him. If you leave her an Italian Rum Cake made with Sailor Jerry's quintessential spiced rum, she's certain to show you great appreciation, as she seems to have a weakness for it (as do I)!

La Befana's Sailor Jerry Rum Cake Recipe
Ingredients:
Crunchy goodness:
1 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup of dark brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Main Cake:
1 yellow or butter cake mix
1 3.4 oz package of instant vanilla pudding
4 eggs
1/2 cup of whole milk OR 1/2 cup of vanilla cream soda pop
1/2 cup of melted butter
1/2 cup of Sailor Jerry's Rum (it's perfectly spiced)
Sailor Jerry Syrup:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup of white sugar
1/4 cup of water
1/2 cup of Sailor Jerry Rum
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare 10 inch Bundt pan by either grease and flour or my best trick is to first butter the pan and then spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
Mix the ingredients for the crunchy goodness and put about 1/2 to 3/4 in the bottom of the Bundt pan.
Mix the cake ingredients together in a separate bowl. Be sure to only use one or the other of the milk or cream soda in the cake, not both. Pour the cake batter into the Bundt pan.Top with remaining Crunchy Goodness.

Bake for 45-60 minutes, testing periodically with a toothpick until it comes out clean.
Allow to sit in pan for 5 minutes, poke holes with a skewer or fork on the top of the cake. Invert cake onto platter and prick the rest of the cake.
Meanwhile cook Sailor Jerry Syrup. Combine butter, sugar, and water in a pan on the stove or a large glass bowl in the microwave. Do NOT add the rum yet. If on the stove, bring to a gentle boil and boil for 5 minutes stirring constantly. If in microwave I cook in 30 second increments or less if it threatens to boil over. I stop and stir and start up again until it has boiled at least 4 minutes in the microwave.
Then remove the syrup and stir in rum.
Pour at least 1/2 the syrup into the Bundt pan and put cake carefully back into pan so as not to splatter yourself with the hot syrup. Then take the additional rum syrup and pour on top of the cake. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or until most of the rum has soaked into the cake. Then again invert the cake onto the same platter. Allow to fully cool and sit for at least 4 hours before serving for best flavor. It tastes even better the next day.
