Hi Maryann!
My suggestion is to use 2-3 teaspoons of rum extract and add enough water to create a 1/2 cup of liquid. You need to replace the liquids.
Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Hi Danielle!
I use regular rum all the time. Just switch out the same measurements and it should work just fine for you. Hope this helps! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoy the cake.
Sincerely,
Norine

I can’t find rum extract. Can I use regular rum instead? If so, how much should I use? Thanks.

I’m so glad your family enjoyed this cake! I’m so sorry your allergic to both pecans and walnuts. That is just sad! This cake does have such great flavor. One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by and visiting. Hope you have a great week.

Thank you for the delicious recipe. I am allergic to both pecans and walnuts. I made this a few hours ago and it’s almost gone because my family loves it.

In reply to Cottie.

Hi Cottie!
Yes you can make this with a standard hand held mixer. You may want to mix it just a tad longer, but not too much. More air tends to make cakes fall. I use white rum in this cake recipe, but honestly I think either would work well. Just remember that your darker or golden rums have been aged longer and have a bolder taste. So if you like the strong taste of rum, a golden rum would be fantastic in this recipe. Hope this helps. Thanks so much for stopping by and visiting. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Happy Nesting!

Hi Norine,
The title and pic sold me and I am making this for Christmas. I don’t have a special mixer like the one you used, what instructions would you suggest for a standard hand-held mixer?
Also, did you use gold or white rum?

In reply to Heather.

Hi Heather!
You could add toffee chips…my only concern is that they may get really crunchy as they cool. That would be my only concern. However, I always say “give it a try” that’s how some of my best recipes come about.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy this recipes as much as we do.
Happy Nesting!
