This cake was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have overbaked it. The glaze helped a bit, but it was still a bit too crumbly.

Not a fan of rum, but this cake was still really good. The glaze was a bit too sweet for me, but overall it was a nice dessert.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The cake was light and fluffy, and the rum glaze added a nice boozy flavor. Will definitely make this again.
