The best part of any meal is definitely dessert. In fact, most of the time we prefer to either order dessert first or skip the entire meal and just get dessert. The reality is that you never know what could happen and you certainly don't want risk eating a meal that doesn't end in dessert! Especially when that dessert could be this one!
It all started with a family recipe dating back to 1880s in a Kosciusko, Mississippi farm house.
Home of the original "Black Cat Rum Cake factory" the special cakes made here were served on the dinner table after a long day's work. One slice was a staple after working hard.
The recipe - made freshly with real ingredients and love - has never changed, making this a sought after dessert across the country. And, they're sold in a variety of sizes.
But it's only New Hampshirites who have the pride of living in the home state of these delicious rum cakes.
We love the 5 oz. shot that seems to go perfectly with morning coffee. You can order them in a package of 6 or 12.
The gift box version is a best seller and it includes 1 and a quarter pounds of dense deliciousness. This is a great size for a gift and it's not uncommon to see them eaten in one sitting!
And, of course, there's the heavyweight. at 2.5 pounds this the biggest in the fleet. It's cooked in wooden box, which adds to the moistness.
