Steps:
- Soak the raisins in rum for at least 30 minutes to plump them up.
- Meanwhile peel, dice and boil sweet potatoes until tender. Mash and let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350º, and prepare 13 X 9 baking pan with cooking spray and a little flour.
- Combine all of the cake ingredients (except raisins) in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. With an electric mixer, mix on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Fold in the raisin/rum mixture. Spread into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, melt the butter in a large saucepan, and allow it to brown just lightly. Remove from the heat and add the remaining frosting ingredients. Beat until smooth and creamy. You can add a little additional rum, orange juice, or water to thin it if necessary, or add a little confectioners sugar if you need to thicken it. Spread over the cake and refrigerate overnight. Serve cold.

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- If you want a thicker frosting, you can add more powdered sugar.
- For a smoother frosting, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before using.
- Decorate the cake with your favorite toppings, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or grated chocolate.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato rum cake with butter rum frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is rich and creamy. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
