Classic Holiday Rum Cake


Not only does this Classic Holiday Rum Cake taste amazing, it’s also a super simple recipe and one that can easily be modified to be gluten-free. I just love that option because no one likes to feel left out of a great dessert, right? (You can find a gluten-free option included in the recipe).



When making gluten-free rum cake you must be careful to find gluten-free rum. Whenever in doubt, it’s always best to contact the company directly and verify if a particular product is considered to be gluten-free. Often a product itself may be gluten-free but may be cross-contaminated during processing or packaging.
