This will be my first blog, I'll like to introduce a bit of myself. I like baking since secondary school, but I don't bake so often when I was still in Malaysia.I like to create or alter recipes that I saw, not because they are no good, but just to suit my taste buds.
This is a Non-Halal cake because it contains a lot of Rum in it.
So you can imagine how drunk I am after just eating one piece... hahaha..(of course not! just kidding) The flavour is quite strong though.
You can cut down the amount of Rum and replace by water if you like it milder. Enjoy! :)

80g raisin soaked in rum
1/3 cup rum +water till 1/2 cup
