Preheat oven to 170°C. Line the base and sides of a 18cm springform cake tin with baking paper. The baking paper on the sides need to be at least 10cm in height. *Note: To help the cake to raise evenly, you can butter the baking paper on the sides.

California Farm Cranberry Rum Cake California Farm Cranberry Rum Cake
Rum alcohol evaporates, leaving only the fragrance and flavor, enriching this cake and the cranberries. Cooking rum is one part rum and 3 parts water. I use low alcohol light cooking rum made from cane syrup to soak the cranberries and make the cake. Cranberry rum cake is lighter and less sweet than raisin rum cake. Slices of rum cake served with banana ice cream on top, a great home made dessert for guests. Freezes well in thick slices wrapped in parchment paper.
