Today @ San Leandro's Grocery Outlet: Tortuga Rum Cake

tortuga.jpgI love Grocery Outlet, you never know what you'll find there. Today I found, of all things, Tortuga Caribbean Rum Cakes. I had never heard of it until a few weeks ago when I started researching my upcoming Cayman menu. Apparently, these cakes are a very famous Cayman product, known throughout the Caribbean. I was planning on making a rum cake myself (from this recipe), but I'm thrilled at finding the real thing. And at Grocery Outlet, no less!

Of course, the price is also unbeatable - $1.50 for the 4oz cake. Not cheap in the abstract, but Amazon sells the 16-Ounce cake for over $13, twice the per-ounce price. The cake gets great reviews at Amazon and other places. I'm not sure if I'll save it for when I serve my Cayman menu or whether I should just eat it and buy more if I like it.
