MOJITO LOAF CAKE
I was curious how I might flavor a loaf cake with the key ingredients of a mojito: lime, mint, and rum. It was a delicious experiment! Decorate the loaf with lime slices and mint leaves, if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
- Combine sugar, lime zest, and mint in a medium bowl. Rub together with your fingers until moist and fragrant. Add lime juice and rum; whisk until dissolved. Whisk in yogurt, oil, and eggs.
- Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Slowly add the wet ingredients, mixing until smooth. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Tent loaf with foil if it starts browning too quickly.
- Cool in the pan for 5 to 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack set over a baking sheet.
- Prepare the glaze while the loaf is cooling. Whisk powdered sugar, lime juice, and mint leaves in a small saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until glaze is smooth and mint has wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum until completely combined.
- Strain glaze into a measuring cup with a spout, pressing against the mint leaves to extract as much flavor as possible. Let sit until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the cooling cake, letting excess drip down the sides. Let loaf cool and glaze firm up before slicing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Spray a 13×9 inch metal pan with cooking spray.
- If you use a Pyrex dish, reduce the heat to 325ºF.
- You can also use a 15×10 inch pan, which is what Larry uses.
- In a mixing bowl, stir together the pineapple, lime juice, rum, and angel food cake mix.
- Pour the mixture into the pan and bake it using the following cook times - 18-24 minutes for a 15×10 inch pan or about 25 minutes for a 13×9 inch pan.
- Let cool completely in pan.
- In mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and limeade concentrate.
- Check for sweetness.
- Add sugar if you feel you need it - I used 4 tablespoons.
- Beat in rum extract and rum, if using,, then fold in Cool Whip Lite.
- Spread over cooled cake.
- Sprinkle with coconut and lime zest.
- Top each serving with mint leaves.
- Larry says, "One last thing. It's fairly low fat. You could get away with using Cool Whip Free rather than Cool Whip Lite, but I personally would not trade out the low fat cream cheese for fat free because the texture would not be as smooth.".
