Рецепт Rum Cake Balls

by Lois B

I'd been wondering what to do with the cake in my freezer; it was leftover from my daughter's graduation party. I made my usual chocolate cake recipe, but only decorated one layer. When I saw Faithy use cake scraps from a very architectural cake (R2D2!) to make these, it seemed like a great idea. I also had a lot of rum leftover. Our friends didn't drink as many mojitos as I'd planned for at a party last fall. Either they've become very mature, or we offered too many choices.

Ingredients

cake, crumbled

white rum

sugar

Directions

Stir enough rum into the crumbled cake to make it stick together with a thick, batter-like texture. I used 1/2 c. rum with one layer of a 9 inch round cake. Roll a spoonful of the mixture between your palms to shape into a ball. Finish it off by rolling in sugar. I kept these loosely covered on my counter, and I thought the texture was just right after 2 or 3 days. (Faithy mentions that you can also keep them uncovered in the fridge to dry them out a bit.) I think you could do this with any cake flavor.
