I always knew it was something special when mom would make this. Around the holidays or when family was coming for a visit. When we were little we thought we were being so naughty because of the rum. Tons of good memories with this one.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a lighter rum in the glaze.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as good as I expected. It was a bit dry and the rum glaze was too strong.
