Steps:
- For cake: Preheat oven to 350*.
- Grease and flour two 9-inch layer pans.
- Combine sour cream and milk in small bowl; set aside.
- Beat butter until creamy; gradually add sugar, beating well.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift flour, baking powder, and salt; add to butter mixture alternating with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
- Stir in vanilla (and rum extract).
- Pour batter into prepared pans.
- Bake in heated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and cool completely on wire wracks.
- For frosting: Combine 2 1/2 cups sugar, milk, beaten egg, and salt in a bowl, stirring well; stir in butter.
- Set aside.
- Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup sugar in saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar melts and syrup is a light golden brown.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir butter mixture into hot caramelized sugar.
- (The sugar mixture will tend to clump, but will become smooth after further cooking.) Cook entire mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer registers 235* (about 15-20 minutes).
- Cool mixture for 5 minutes.
- Beat frosting with a wooden spoon to almost spreading consistency (about 5 minutes).
- Immediately spread between layers and on top and sides of cake.
