This recipe represents the simple "bet" of wanting to reproduce the flavor and aroma of the famous Mojito Drink in a dessert. Perfectly successful experiment that met with considerable success on a summer evening, with guests with a fine palate, whom I was able to surprise.
- First of all prepare on the work surface, all the ingredients already weighed and ready to be gradually added to the dough.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the egg whites until stiff with a whisk
Work the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes swollen and lightened.
At this point, add the melted and cooled butter.
Then add the Rum, the finely chopped mint leaves, the grated lime peel and the lime juice.
Finally add the flour and mix well.
Add the beaten egg whites to the yolks mixture
Gently mix the two compounds in a top-to-bottom motion
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees
e Prepare the Plum Cake Molds by lining them with Parchment Paper
Fill the molds with the mixture obtained
Bake at 180 degrees for 20/25 minutes. To check the cooking, it is always useful to do the toothpick test
Let them cool and then remove them from the molds and sprinkle with powdered sugar and decorate with mint leaves or lime slices.
Accompany this dessert with a good Cuban Mojito while admiring a beautiful late summer sunset

My name is Francesca and I am 51 years old and I am a mother of two boys and guardian of two other boys (my grandchildren). I worked for 30 years in a bakery and I cultivated a love for good food and Sicilian traditions in the kitchen. The large family "forced" me to take action to cook for many people, also trying to follow an economic line that would satisfy everyone by spending as little as possible (as a good housewife and mother of a family) while trying to maintain taste and quality. As a hobby I sing in a gospel choir
