FAQS
Why should the plum cake be completely cooled before feeding?
Feeding a warm cake can cause the liquid to evaporate quickly and may not absorb properly, reducing the effectiveness of the feeding process.
Can I use a substitute for rum?
Yes, you can use fruit juice or non-alcoholic extracts as a substitute for rum, but it may alter the flavor profile slightly.
How long can the fed plum cake be stored?
When properly wrapped and stored in a cool, dry place or refrigerated, the fed plum cake can last for several weeks while maintaining its flavor and moisture.
Can I scale this recipe for smaller or larger cakes?
Yes, you can adjust the ingredient quantities proportionally for cakes of different sizes, such as 100 g or 200 g portions.
What is the purpose of cling wrapping the cake?
Cling wrapping makes the cake airtight, which helps retain moisture, enhances flavor, and improves its shelf life.
