Chocolate again. Yep. Chocolate is always on my mind so it makes its way here a lot. There’s nothing fancy or complex about this recipe, just a straight chocolate caramel rum cake. Sometimes simple is best and sometimes more rum is better than less. Of course you can glaze to your preference, I personally like it on the more aggressive side. But whether you go heavy or light-handed, you’ll see the caramel rum provides an uncomplicated contrast to the chocolate cake to keep it from being a one note dessert.
Chocolate Caramel Rum Cake
And you’ll have to take my word on that one for a little bit. Know why? I can’t find the recipe. What. . .the. . . freak? How is that possible?
Honestly, I’m not sure, especially since I’m so super anal about crazy stupid stuff like color blocking my closet, creating a billion Spotify and iTunes playlists according to genre, artist, decade and mood. You would think all that need for classifying and granularity would dictate me being a highly organized person? I would like to think so too, but as evident by the lost of this recipe – not so much.
My apologies, for the mess up here. Check back in a week or two after I go through the recipe a few times to verify the accuracy of what I can remember (that’s downside of baking and writing a lot of recipes—things start to blend together). I’ll post it here once I re-create it.
Apparently my five days of posting is experiencing a few hiccups. But stick with me – I’ll find my pacing. Man, this blogging is just tough stuff.
Welcome to my cozy corner where baking meets random thoughts and musings. I’m a self-taught baker sharing all things sweet (and some savory—okay, and cocktails) with a whisk in one hand and a camera in the other. 
I know that feeling! I think I made the best cheesecake ever year ago and after eating it, I didn´t find that recipe anywhere… That is so hard when it happens! I hope you will find this one because it looks so yummy
Chocolate, caramel and rum? Yes please, this recipe needs to be found!
The amazing pictures totally make up for the missing recipe
5 days a week is tough indeed. Kudos to you!
This sounds so delicious!!
Hey, it’s ok! Who doesn’t misplace recipes–or totally forget what they used? I for one spend a non-trivial amount of time squinting at my pictures to remind myself of my ingredients.
This cake does look amazing, so when you find the recipe, I’ll be waiting!
I’ve lost a recipe or two in my few years of blogging. Sucks when it happens! But at least you still have a tasty cake to eat
Is it me, or is it ironic that there is a “save recipe” button at the top of the post??
Please find the recipe, it is snowing and this cake just looks like it would hit the spot!
Oh my gosh, I have seriously done the same thing. I make something that I am super super happy with and then cannot remember half the stuff I did when I made it. Ahhh, must be more organized! At least the cake is gorgeous, and I believe you that it’s delicious! PS: rum caramel?? YES PLEASE.
It looks really amazing! So yummy:) love yummydesign
Will def. check back for the recipe- but your photos are beautiful and the cake looks wonderful! Never thought of a rum caramel cake…thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! !!
After seeing these amazing pictures we all will wait for the recipe. .. take ur time …
5 days a week is courageous I’m trying 3 and man I’m exhausted lol. .
I use to color block my closet too. NowI also arrange tops and dressed in sleeve length and then secondarily by whether they are collared. It’s ridiculous, but I can’t stop.
Just beautiful!
Please tell me you have the recipe, or a close approximation? I have a birthday tonight and this would be perfect for the birthday girl! I’d be happy to fill I’m any recipe gaps if you’re only partially complete. Thank you!
Any luck finding the recipe? I would love to make this for my husband’s birthday!
