Best Answer

Most rum cake is probably safe for children. While it is popularly believed that all the alcohol that you put in the cake will evaporate during baking, a study by the US Department of Agriculture's Nutrient Data Laboratory found that not all the alcohol disappears during cooking. However, most of the alcohol will be gone, especially if the cake is allowed to stand for a time.

BUT - Some cakes are soaked in rum after they are baked. These would definitely have an alcoholic kick in them.

How do you soak a store bought fruitcake in rum?

"Soak" is a misnomer for what is actually done. What people usually do is to pierce the cake with thin skewers or thin knitting needles and then sprinkle the rum over the cake - do not use too much, you don't want a soggy cake. Wrap the cake in tinfoil or greaseproof paper and place in an airtight container. Repeat the process at weekly intervals - alternating with pouring the rum on the top and on the bottom of the cake.
