4️⃣ Bake the Cake
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 60–75 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil after the 40-minute mark.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
🎄 Storage & Serving
- This cake gets better with time. Wrap in parchment and foil and store in an airtight tin.
- Optional: Brush with rum once a week for up to 2 weeks to enhance flavor and shelf life.
- Serve sliced with tea or coffee—or enjoy slightly warmed with a dollop of whipped cream.
