RUM CAKE

I've planned on making a rum cake for years. Back in the 70's, Bacardi Rum put a recipe in the women's magazines and I always thought they looked yummy! We just never seemed to have any rum on hand because as you know, we're really heavy drinkers and must have drunk it all up. ;-)
For Thanksgiving last year (or was it the year before?) I made some hot buttered rum (which I didn't like at all). I had some leftover rum and thought I'd make the rum cake. Well, here it is June and I still hadn't made it. After getting my new Kitchen-Aid mixer I decided that I'd better be putting it to good use, so I finally made my rum cake. It turned out really well although I did modify the recipe a tad so it didn't have quite so much rum flavor in the glaze.
