Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each one. Stir in the rum, then mix in the flour and cornstarch. Pour into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a knife inserted into the crown comes out clean. Cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
- While the cake is baking, mix together the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar. When the cake comes out of the oven, poke with a long fork or knitting needle all over. Pour the glaze over the top,and let it soak in. Cut into slices to serve.

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! I followed the recipe exactly, but the cake turned out dry and crumbly. The lemon glaze was also too thin and runny. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I won't be making this recipe again.

[email protected]This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The lemon flavor was nice and the cake was moist. I think next time I make it, I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the batter.
