St. Malachi Rum Cake

As amazing as the holiday season can be, there is also a bit of stress involved. I know in my home we hold on tight to the traditions we had as children, sometimes those traditions could use a bit of an update….. That’s where we come in. Spring House has perfected a way to update your Grandma’s rum cake recipe with our St. Malachi Rum. We’ve simplified it to make everything as painless as possible, while still packed with flavor and of course rum!
