    I am Jamaican…and besides the Appleton Rum…there is NOTHING Jamaican about this recipe. Please don’t try to carry down our name by trying to imitate us!!!!! There is nothing called 7-up dough recipe in the Jamaican cuisine

    Even though it sounds tropical and shit, she’s right… Don’t add Rastafarian or Jamaican and expect people to not be pissed.

    I am Jamaican and this recipe along with most that I have seen on the web is horribly wrong…but, at least you’ve got the rum right, but we put a lot more than just 3tbs…sorry…try again…

    i thoughts exactly Sherri- where on earth did they get this recipe from?? You couldn’t have said it better. They need to remove this recipe from this site altogether and NEVER post it again!

    I think its meant to say 7 cup dough recipe..Duh

    What is 7 cup dough recipe?? There is no such thing. This has nothing to do with Jamaican food. This is very confusing for people who are trying to cook Jamaican food.

    i really love Cakes and i am always looking for some new cake recipes on the internet.:~’

    Ah bway!!! I’m glad so many people have already made it clear that this is NOT a jamaican recipe. A better description would be Appleton Rum cake or something similar but it is not something we bake. It is however similar to Cayman’s Tortuga Rum cake which in it’s original form (they have different flavours now) is a yellow light cake with lots of Tortuga Rum. I don’t know if any other caribbean island does a similar cake but we don’t.

    The nearest to a rum cake that we have is our fruit cake (a lot more work) which is baked mostly at Christmas and for weddings and as Micah said it uses a lot more rum:)

    If you think THIS is bad…and it sure as hell is…..don’t visit the food network site for any Jamaican cuisine! Why can’t ‘people’ follow the true recipe, I have no idea. Insulting AND embarrassing!

    I need an authentic Rum Cake recipe to make for my family and friends…

    A friend of mine went to Jamaica/Cayman Island’s and brought back an awesome tasting Rum Cake… I would love to get a recipe that is as close to that as I can get. It didn’t have any fruit in it, though was yellow, light and moist, I loved it…

    Thanks in advance for your response… lrdelong03@hotmail.com
