• Pour into 2 well greased or parchment paper covered loaf cake pans.
• Bake in 350 degree oven for 50 minute Invert on wire rack to cool.
• For a few days I brush rum on top to give it extra flavor.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°; butter an 8- or 9-inch flat-bottomed tube pan; dust with all-purpose flour, invert over the kitchen sink, and tap to remove excess.
• To soften the raisins--place in a steam basket in a medium saucepan and steam for 1 minute over boiling water (do not submerge the raisins or they will absorb too much water).
• Spread them out over several layers of paper towels and dry thoroughly.
• Using a triple sifter, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Cut the butter into 1-inch pieces and place it along with the rinds in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment.
• Soften on low speed.
• Increase speed to med-high and cream until smooth and light in color, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
• Add in sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, taking 6-8 minutes to blend it in well; scrape the sides of the bowl occasionally.
• Add in eggs, 1 at a time at 1-minute intervals, scraping the sides of the bowl again.
• Blend in the vanilla.
• Decrease mixer speed to low; add the dry ingredients in three additions alternately with the rum in two additions, mixing until incorporated after each addition; mix the batter for 15 seconds longer.
• Remove bowl from mixer and fold in raisins with a rubber spatula.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan; smooth the surface with the back of a tablespoon.
• Center the pan on the rack and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown on top and begins to come away from the sides of the pan; or toothpick inserted into the center comes out dry.
• Remove cake from oven; set on a cake rack for 10-15 minutes; invert cake onto a rack and remove the pan.
• Turn cake top side up onto a second cake rack to cool at room temperature.
• Cut a double thickness of cheesecloth to measure approximately 18 x 24 inches.
• Saturate in 1/4 cup dark Jamaican rum; open the rum soaked cheesecloth and stretch flat on an 18-inch square of heavy-duty foil; arrange cake in the center of the cheesecloth.
• Wrap the cloth over the cake by lifting the ends and bringing them to the center.
• Then wrap tightly in foil; place the cake in a plastic bag and seal; let stand at room temperature overnight.
• The following day, remove the foil and unwrap the cake; remoisten the cheesecloth with an additional 1/4 cup rum; rewrap the cake in the cheesecloth and foil and return to the plastic bag to age for 2-3 days or up to 10 days.
• It is not necessary to remoisten the cheesecloth after the second day.
• Wrap leftover cake in the cheesecloth; store in plastic wrap or foil at room temperature for up to 10 days.

Steps:

• For the cake: Grease a Bundt pan and spread pecans on the bottom of the pan. Beat eggs, oil, water and rum in mixer just until incorporated. Add pudding mix and cake mix and beat on med, about 3 to 5 minutes just until you get a smooth texture. Pour into pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 to 45 minutes. The cake should have a light golden brown color, but will darken with the glaze.
• For the glaze: Melt butter in saucepan and add the sugar and water, bring to a boil. Once it starts to boil, take off the heat and add the rum. Pour into a large measuring cup that will hold that amount or more. Set aside.
• Once cake is ready, take out of oven and leave in pan. Gently prick holes into the cake with a skewer. Slowly pour half of the glaze over the cake making sure to fill in all the holes. Once the cake has soaked up the glaze, turn cake over, removing pan, onto the base that the cake will stay on. Gently prick more holes on other side and slowly pour other half of glaze over cake. Fill the center of the cake with reserved pecans. Let cool and enjoy. The cake is best if left at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put the raisins in a bowl or kilner jar, add the rum and leave to soak for at least 1-2 weeks (the longer the better!)
• Preheat the oven to 200C. Line a muffin tin with 12 paper cases.
• Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar.

• Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin cases and bake in the oven for about 20mins until well-risen, golden brown and firm to the touch.
• Leave the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• To make the icing, mix together the butter, icing sugar, rum and milk until smooth and creamy. Spoon equally on to the top of each muffin and sprinkle with the grated chocolate. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the dates with the hot milk and set aside for 20 mins. Mix the raisins with the rum and do the same. Grease 9 dariole or small pudding moulds and sit them in a deep roasting tin or baking dish. Put the kettle on.
• Whizz the dates and milk together in a food processor until you have a smooth purée, then scrape into a large bowl and mix with the oil and eggs, before stirring in the bicarbonate of soda, flour and sugar. Finally fold in the rum-soaked raisins and any rum left in the bowl. Divide between the darioles, then carefully pour boiling water into the tin or dish so it comes two-thirds to halfway up the sides of the darioles. Bake for 20-25 mins on a low shelf in the oven.
• Check the puds are done with a skewer, then lift out and cool a little. For the sauce melt the butter, sugar and cream together, then turn up the heat until it bubbles and comes together into a smooth, shiny sauce. Stir in the rum and raisins and cool. Turn out the puddings from the moulds, scraping around the sides of each with a blunt cutlery knife first. Line up in a shallow baking dish and cover with cling film. Keep the puds and sauce somewhere cool for up to 24 hrs.
• To serve spoon a little sauce and raisins over each pud, then pour the rest around (if the sauce has separated a little just gently reheat and stir back together). Cover the whole dish with a tent of foil. When the Christmas dinner is ready turn the oven down to 120C/100C fan/gas ¼ and reheat puddings for about 30-40 mins until hot. Serve with crème fraîche.
