THANK YOU EVERYONE!! Today we are celebrating the 100,000th visitor here on Cooking With Sin!

I sat glued to my laptop watching the final number roll in.

This number is even more significant because it recognizes first time visitors only. Once you’ve been on, it won’t recognize you again. Pretty exciting, eh?!

Let’s celebrate with some rum!

“Fifteen men on the dead man’s chest. Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum!” ~ Robert Louis Stevenson

A big “Thank you” to my cousin Luana for sending me this recipe this morning. She is a wonderful, prolific baker! It is the official Bacardi Rum Cake recipe that is well loved and has been around for a few decades. It’s so simple and so deelish! This is a great occasion to share it here.

Enjoy Everybody!
