It’s been told to me that this is the Best Rum Cake Ever.  We will see.  Come into my kitchen and enjoy this great recipe for a rum cake.
I’m so excited to make this recipe with you. I have never made it before and thought it would be fun today since I just bought plenty of rum.  You know I have been eating healthy and getting skinny and I decided today was the day I would cheat.  And this sounds like a great day to try it being April first and all.
So let’s get straight to the cake

1 cup butter
1 teaspoon sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup of dried fruit
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

 Now go ahead and select a large mixing bowl, measuring cups, etc.
Check the rum again to be sure the rum is of the highest quality.
  Pour one level cup of the rum in a glass and drink it as fast as you can. Repeat!

Meanwhile, make sure the Rum is of the highest quality. Â Try another cup!
Sopen a second quart if necessary. Â Add 2 arge leggs, 2 cups fried druit and beat till high.

Me again! After I saw this cute post I decided I had to compete and ran back and did my own! Pretend you don't know its 04-01 if you visit What Happens at Grandma's today! Happy 04-01 !
Oh my heavens, I was suspicious at the first rum tasting. Great post. I stay away from the April fool's day thingie since it is one of our daughters' birthday. Blessings QMM
Ha! Too funny and so appropriate for April Fool's 🙂 Hope you're doing well – the house FINALLY closed today! Maybe life will resume some sense of normal, soon! Missing you! {hugs}
Evelyn, I never got a chance to leave you a message. But didn't want to ignore you 🙂 This was pretty funny, saw it on my phone. But it was a loooonnnngggg week. Thank you for making me laugh and for sharing at my link party. Hugs my friend, Wanda Ann @ Memories by the Mile
Hahaha! This was great! I am a little sad though, my aunt makes the best rum cake and every time I tried it's never turned out as delicious as hers! I was hoping another recipe might give me better results.
With 2 quarts of rum in it how could it not be good? Can you believe as a kid all of our birthday cakes were rum cakes? We hated them but I guess it helped the adults get through the party. Thanks for sharin with us lovely lady. See you next week.
you had me going sweetie, LOL Thank you for sharing at the hop, your participation makes the hop extra special. Big Hugs P.S. the new giveaway posted yesterday!
I love it!!! That was hilarious. I needed a good laugh today. Thank you so much for sharing at A Bouquet of Talent this week. Have a wonderful weekend. 🙂 hugs Kathy
Hi Evelyn, I just saw this. I love to make rum cake. I actually almost got fired once because I made a rum cake for work. I told my boss to beware of the bottom of the cake because that is where the sauce goes – the bottom. He apparently didn't listen and was walking around funny all day. He's a recovering alcoholic and hadn't had a cocktail in 17 years. Honestly, I would not have made that cake if I had known. Other than that incident, I make a mean rum cake. When you let yourself not cheat but enjoy a piece, try the dark rum. Much better. Save the light stuff for egg nog. Great joke, by the way.
That was funny, Evelyn! Have a great week! 🙂
LOL LOVE IT!!!
Hahaha. Good one !! you got me 😀
LOL!
ROFL!!!! I may have to give this a try …
You're hilarious. Thanks for the April Fool's joke!
