Day 5
So today a good friend of mine has just returned from her Caribbean cruise and brought back for me....drum roll.....TORTUGA RUM CAKE!!
Now if you have never tasted it before, it's worth stowing away in sub-zero temperatures of a boeing 747 luggage hold, just to get to any island in the Caribbean to try this thing. I first tasted it when I went to Tobago and I have always tried to buy a few boxes whenever I have been in any of the Islands. I have tried to make it myself using various recipe books, but it never tastes the same. (Trust me I HAVE tried!) According to Tortuga "Each rum cake is hand glazed with special 5-year-old, oak barrel aged Tortuga Gold Rum then vacuum sealed to lock in the delicious freshness."
The minute you open that vacuum bag the smell of rum hits your nostrils like a drunk at closing time. The cake is so soft and moist it almost dissolves on your tongue. It was a fitting end to my life of indulgence as we will soon attempt our get fit routine so we are well and truly prepared for our 5k Pretty Muddy experience!
