Italian Rum Cake I Have A Request

Italian Rum Cake

lacrenshaw 15 years ago

I am in search of an authentic recipe for Italian rum cake. There is a layer of vanilla cream and a layer of chocolate ganache that goes between the layers and the cake itself is rum-soaked. I am looking for this to make for a 95th birthday this summer. I would surely appreciate any help you may provide. Thank you all in advance.

Sorry I don't have a recipe for this. But I know the cake you are talking about my husband's family has it for all occations. It may help to know the name. They call it a Cassada cake (although that is probably not how it is spelled). Good luck

Cassata is the correct spelling and they have a few recipes on All Recipes.com

Guys,

Wanted to let you know that a fabulous recipe presented itself to me from the dianadesserts.com site. She calls her confection rum cake, Italian style and it is exactly what I have been searching out for all these months.

Thanks to you both for your help!
