Bacardi Rum Cake Bacardi Rum Cake Photo (c) by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com. I make this Bacardi Rum Cake each and every Christmas. The longer it sits, the better it tastes. The problem is begin able to let it sit around before it's eaten. Pieces just magically disappear, doesn't matter what time of day it is. 2.

Texas Candy Cake 2010 Cutting Candied Fruit Photo by Carroll Pellegrinelli, licensed to About.com Most people are not fans of the dry, under-liquored, fruitcake. Former Tonight Show host and comedian Johnny Carson even had a joke about how there's really only one fruitcake in the world. It's the same one that's been passed from one family to the next, and how it's used as a doorstop until it's time to pass it on again. This Texas Candy Cake isn't like that at all. It's moist and tasty.
