I need help with a recipe
Can anyone tell me if I can substitute rum flavoring for brandy flavoring? I want to bake a Lane cake and the recipe calls for Brandy flavoring and I can not find it anywhere. I bought Rum flavoring instead but am having second thoughts about using it. I have no idea what either tastes like so don't know if it would ruin my cake. Thanks

They are both good flavors, I like rum flavor better. I don't know what a Lane Cake is, but I often change the flavor in some of my cakes, especially if it's a pound type cake. Just remember, it is just flavoring, not alcohol. If it called for brandy, the liquor in the cake then it might make a difference. In Italian Rum cake, the cake is a sponge type cake and I've already used Amaretto to soak the cake instead of Rum. Guess I'll have to google Lane Cake. I'll get back to you.

Well I googled Lane Cake and apparently the filling also takes brandy and some people have used the real thing, whether it be Brandy, bourbon or whiskey. One lady said they put a full glass of wine in the filling, but most suggested no liquor in the filling if being served to children. From what I read, I don't see why you can't use Rum flavoring, you can tell everyone that you decided to put your own spin on the recipe. After reading the recipe, I just might have to make one someday.

Thank you Jeanne. Merry Christmas

If the cake is baked, much of the brandy alcohol is dissipated in the heat. If you want to use the real thing.
