Newfoundland Screech Cake

Before leaving St. John’s, order a Screech Rum Cake from the executive chef at the Fairmont Newfoundland www.fairmont.com/newfoundland . Chef Roary MacPherson, a native Newfoundlander, revised a rum-cake recipe he obtained while working in Barbados, replacing Caribbean rum with Newfoundland’s 151-proof blend called Screech and utilizing the island’s deep-red partridgeberries instead of raisins. This truly authentic taste of Newfoundland is reflected even in the packaging: The sepia-toned label shows an image of the historic port of St. John’s, inhabited since the 1520s. You can order a 10-inch cake ($28) from the Hotel Newfoundland (24 hours notice required), e-mail hotelnewfoundland@fairmont.com or call 709-726-4980 to speak with a Royal Service Agent. Or just make your own…

1/2 cup dried cranberries
2/3 cup grams raisins
2/3 cup rum
3 cups grams flour
1 ¾ Tablespoons baking powder

2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup coconut milk

=============================================

I got this from my Islands newsletter and it sounded good, or maybe it was just the nice pictures of the sunny beaches that made anything be considered good.
