Tortuga Rum Cakes

A buttery, moist slice of a Tortuga rum cake is the perfect companion for a cup of coffee. Unlike other desserts, Tortuga rum cakes have a strong flavor that doesn't overwhelm the senses when drinking coffee. The cakes' rum flavor compliments the bitter, strong flavor of coffee. These cakes do have alcohol content, so you shouldn't serve them to children.

Tortuga Rum Cakes and Other Coffee Companions

Tortuga rum cakes are made with about a half-cup Jamaican rum, and glazed with rum as well. Those who enjoy rum in smaller quantities can try other varieties such as Chocolate Fudge Rum Cake and a Butterscotch Rum cake.

Biscotti is a cafe tradition. These hard cookie slices, which typically include or anise flavoring, have a mild taste that's good by itself or softened in a cup of coffee. If stored properly, biscotti can last for months of coffee breaks and morning papers.

Coffee drinkers who prefer spice to sweet can try pepper jellies on toast. A smear of a cranberry or jelly made with Jamaican Scotch Bonnet peppers on an English muffin or a bagel adds nutrition to your breakfast and another kick start to your day. Jellies, which are made with pectin, also retain a lot of the vitamins in the main ingredients.
