Vie’s Jamaican Rum Cakes

“Such great cake! Loved the rum in it!” Irini Tzortzoglou, Winner of MasterChef 2019, Cartmel, Cumbria

TURNING MY LOSS INTO LEGACY

My mum’s middle name was Viola but dad called her Vie (as in pie).

She was born in 1943 in Jamaica and moved to the U.K. in the 1960s, making England her home.

Sadly, in 2018, mum passed away and I moved to Cumbria the following year. To honour mum as the generous and talented cake maker she was, I was inspired to turn my loss into a legacy.

Well-known for her scRUMptious cakes which were generously infused with the finest Jamaican white rum, I am now reproducing mum’s cakes based on her traditional recipe. Hence, the birth of Vie’s Jamaican Rum Cakes.

The utmost care has been taken to ensure that both the original (Doré, Delectable, Divine) and gluten-free (Doux, Delightful, Distinguished) versions of the cake are as fruity, flavoursome and fantastic as my mother’s used to be.

Our special edition Christmas cake is made with Jefferson’s 1785 Extra Fine Dark Rum from The Rum Story in Whitehaven.
