Daily, your recipe reminds me of a dear friend who passed a few years ago. She always brought us rum cake for Christmas, and it was delicious, but she was VERY heavy handed with the rum. One could get tipsy just sniffing it!

This recipe reminds me so much of the cakes my Grannie made when I was growing up, they always used simple ingredients that ended up with spectacular results. Thanks for posting it
