"A single serving of rum cake shouldn't be potent enough to make you tipsy due to low alcohol content and evaporation during baking."
"A Jamaican rum cake recipe contains about a third of a shot of rum per slice after factoring in the alcohol lost during baking."
"About 75% of the alcohol evaporates during the hour-long bake, resulting in around 8% of a normal shot of rum per serving."
"Rum syrups can infuse additional alcohol into the cake, increasing the overall alcohol content depending on cooking practices."
Rum cake contains low alcohol content that significantly reduces post-baking effects. Typically, a Jamaican rum cake recipe might include half a cup of rum, amounting to about a third of a shot per serving. During baking, 75% of the alcohol evaporates, resulting in only 8% of a shot per slice. Additionally, soaked rum syrup can elevate the alcohol content further, though precise calculations depend on the cooking method and duration of syrup simmering.
