I sat down late in October and jotted down my menu for thanksgiving. Then I made a list of ingredients that I could buy ahead of time, so I could watch the sales and get the best prices. This got me to thinking about my family's favorite Thanksgiving Day recipes. I thought I would share a few with you and maybe inspire you to think ahead to the holidays a bit!
About this rum cake recipe...it is fantastic. I straight up copied it, so I won't go to the trouble of copying it out here...but I HIGHLY recommend it.
It used a yellow box cake along with a few other ingredients to "doctor up" the box (including dark rum). Then after it's cooked, you soak it in butter mixed with rum. It is moist, delicious, and addictive.
I often feel that if it doesn't have chocolate, I don't bother with it. But this cake is the exception (the liquor helps). It also lasts for an extra long time, I think the butter soak keeps it from getting dry...it doen'st really last that long at my house though!!
