Can i use white rum instead of dark rum in a rum cake? Maybe add a littlw lemon to the icing. Will it still turn out
Making a rum cake fro my friends birthday. Money is a little tight and I already have raspberry rum. Can I use that instead of dark rum? And if its gonna to change the flavor..maybe add a little lemon to the icing? Do you think it would still taste pretty good? Also, my friend doesn't like nuts...so is there something else crunchy I can top it with? Or just leave it off completely?

Coconut - dried shaved slices or shreds, toasted
Banana chips.
Dried cherries (yes, Caribbean).
Or finish it with meringues...in rosettes or whatever shape you like. Can be used around the top of the cake to hold candles, raspberries, some of the other toppings. Or toasted, shredded & scattered on top.
Please let us know what you decide to do and how it works out...:)
