Rum Cake
Why I Love This Recipe
This recipe was given to me by my friend, Barbara. The first time I tasted it, I could have eaten the whole cake!
I have made this cake in various flavor combinations for church picnics. No one seems to mind the alcohol, and I've made as many as 20 cakes for one picnic. Orange cake with Cointreau or an orange flavored liqueur is very good, as is chocolate cake with bourbon.
