Beat sugar & oil at medium speed of mixer; add eggs one at a time, beating well after each additiong. Add vanilla & flour, beating until batter is smoothe. By hand, stir in remaining ingredients. Bake in greased bundt pan at 350F for 1 hour(or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean). Top with glaze while warm.

Rum Glaze

Thanks, crewsk for sharing. It does sound delicious and when I make it I will let you know if I agree with you that I did eat the whole thing. My family usually can smell when I fix something and can't hide anything so I am looking forward to trying it. Thanks again for thinking of us. Have blessed day!
