From Scratch Rum Cake

[ksaw29]

I've always made my rum cakes from that popular recipe that calls for cake mix and jello pudding. Although I've always gotten compliments on it, I really REALLY want to make this cake from scratch. I get a greater satisfaction...

So, are you the one with the best recipe ?

I may not have the best but this one is a really good one!!! Just a standared poundcake recipe with pinch of mace ..the entire contents of a vanilla bean and 1/2 cup of good rum in the batter and then bake ..remove from the oven and top the hot cake with a glaze made of powdered sugar rum and walnuts once while it is hot then again while it is cool ..this comes out fantastic!

Dorie Greenspan has a rum soaked vanilla poundcake in her book. I haven't made it yet (although I have every intention of doing so), but the recipe is discussed in the topic about her new book.
