Enjoy your own personal taste of Italy with this Vaccaro's classic Rum Cake, an Italian sponge cake soaked in rum flavoring with 1 layer of vanilla cream, 1 layer of chocolate cream, and garnished with sliced almonds around the outside. 

Gioacchino Vaccaro established Vaccaro's Italian Pastry Shop in 1956. He was born and raised in Palermo, Italy. Mr. Jimmy, as he was so aptly known, brought with him the recipes and the knowledge of how to make the finest Siciliano pastries Baltimore had ever seen. Soon after opening, it was evident that the cannoli and rum cake had created a sensation among Baltimoreans.
