Mojito Cake

Slices of tender white cake feature pretty flecks of fresh mint. The rum glaze and whipped cream garnish are great!

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

A mojito typically refers to a cocktail made with lime juice, sugar, mint leaves and rum. We've taken those same flavors and turned them into a tasty cake.

In a pinch, use purchased frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead of making your own whipped cream.

The first time I made this cake was 2012 for the Cinco de Mayo celebration at our Elks club here in Allen Park - all I can say is WOW and that's all I heard from everyone (I should have made 2)... I pride myself in my cooking/baking and my neighbor (my taste tester of everything) said this is her favorite. I'm making it again tomorrow for my B-day but I'm going to try it with a bunt pan as someone else has done - my husband says he'll make it for me - but - there's NO WAY he knows what the hell he's doing in my kitchen.. This is one of the best recipes I've seen from your site - THANKS.....

Made this cake in July 2010 for a bachelorette party. The bride loves mojitos and our spa trip had a Cuban theme. The cake was amazing and the fresh mint made a big difference. I'm definitely going to make this again this summer.

Great cake! I made it as a bundt cake, and added the glaze over each slice. yummm... My only suggestion would be to beat the egg whites separately and fold them in. The 2 minutes on medium seems like it was too much. Texture was a little "over beaten".
