This is one of the first cakes I decided to try tackle on my own, and I’m glad I did! This cake is so delicious and moist, and oh, my, the rum! The rum really makes a difference to the take by giving it a really great flavour. I’m not the only one who thinks that way because everyone who tried it loves it. This cake has been my go-to dessert for parties and gatherings, and it has not let me down yet. I’ve only made this in a 13 x 9 x 2 pan, though. I’ve yet to try it in a bundt pan . . . but the pan I use works! Do give this cake a try, and let me know if you like it.
