Baking rum
Description
Baking rum is an aromatic liquid ranging from amber to dark in color, with an intense, sweet caramel-vanilla aroma featuring notes of oak and spices. It has a warm, slightly spicy, and sweet taste; it is available both as alcoholic distilled rum and as a non-alcoholic essence intended solely for flavoring cakes. Nutritionally, rum mainly provides calories from alcohol and sugars and is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals, so it is advisable to use it sparingly; in small amounts, it enhances the flavor of baked goods without significantly affecting the nutritional value of the dish. It is perfect for soaking sponge cakes, flavoring creams, puddings, and Advent baked goods, as well as for yeast cakes, fillings, and dessert sauces. Store in a cool, dark place, tightly sealed, away from heat sources and children; non-alcoholic essences retain their flavor for a very long time.
