Polish Babka Rumowa

December 10, 2018 by Tamara Giebel Leave a Comment

Christmas traditions start with this Polish Rum Cake. These sugary, rum soaked yellow cakes are easy to make and will make everyone come back for more.

Buttery, yellow cake soaked in a sweet, sugary dark rum glaze with delicate minced walnuts crusting the top. That is Polish Rum Cake and our family Christmas tradition.

As long as I can remember my mother has made rum cake for Christmas. I used to feel so very grown up eating this cake, a special privilege to be eating something soaked in rum. Kinda like I was breaking the rules. Yes, it’s that good! One bite into this rich buttery cake and you’ll be in heaven. It’s unlike anything you’ve ever tasted. Are you ready?
