Outer Banks Rum Cakes: Taste the Treasure! What it is: A Kill Devil Hills company who makes the best rum cakes we’ve ever had! The adorable box tells the legend of “Kill Devil Jill,” a pirate gal who survived a ship wreck off the coast of NC along with a barrel of rum “strong enough to kill the devil.” Jill shared her rum with the locals who rescued her and an Outer Banks tradition was born! Why we love it: With its golden-baked color, highest quality rum, all natural ingredients and mouth-watering topping of pecan and sugar crumb, it’s the perfect dessert after a big seafood dinner. When the box opens and the intoxicating smell of butter, rum and just a hint of orange fill the room, it’ll definitely be every sailor for themselves! Where to buy it: To get your hands on a slice of these truly original Outer Banks treasures, visit www.outerbanksrumcakes.com or the Coastal Provisions Market in Southern Shores.
