Tortuga Rum Cake Review

If your looking for a great rum cake to serve this Holiday season, why not try the Tortuga Rum Cake. This cake is made by a family owned company, who pride themselves in making the finest Caribbean rum cakes and other gourmet products. They have such a wide range of products to choose from, such as their rum cakes to great gifts.


So today I am trying mine, that the company sent to me to taste, test and review about. They we're gracious with sending me two cakes to try, their orginal and a key lime rum cake. So for dessert tonite, that is what we are having. One slice of each, warmed up, and I think at least one with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

So let me tell you about the orginal rum cake my family and I had this evening. The Golden Original rum cake, was the first slice my family and I tasted, warmed up a little in the mircowave and served with a hot cup of coffee. It was a delightful way to end our evening. The cake was so moist and fresh, and you could taste the walnuts in every bite. This flavor from Tortuga, is their most popular, and known world wide. And after tasting it, you will know why. Tortuga only use's the finest ingredients such as, natural and imported ingredients, only the best. This flavor has a special blend of five year old oak barrel aged rum in it. A Tortuga Gold Rum to be exact. Both cakes came individually hand glazed. The rest of the cake we will save and slice, and re-serve again to our quests on Thanksgiving day.

Next on our plate to taste was the Tortuga Key Lime Rum Cake. This I warmed up also, but served it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, after it was warmed up. Wow, is the first words that came to our minds, after tasting this combo. With every bite, you could taste the flavors of the Cayman Islands. And thats what you get when you have one of these wonderful rum cakes, a taste of what it would be like, sitting at a table in the Cayman Islands, eating this rum cake with a nice shot of rum to wash it down. This to is made with only the finest of ingredients. And it really is noticable in every bite. The cakes are so moist and so fresh. Serve this at your next get together, and you will be the hit of the party.


There are other ways, I can think of on how to use these wonderful tasting rum cakes. And one that comes to mind first, is cubing some of the rum cake and using it in a Turkey stuffing. It could be that one secret ingredient that know one will be able to quess what it is.

With Christmas approaching, Tortuga has so many products that you can send as gifts. And if they taste anything like the one's I have tasted, your quest will love the gift.

So if you would like to learn more about the company, and all the things they have to offer, hop over to their website at www.tortugarumcakes.com . I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
