My husband loves rum cake. I had made other rum cakes in the past and none was better than this one!! It is better when aged on 2nd or 3rd day. I will definitely make this cake again. I followed the recommendations of other reviews and used chopped pecans instead of walnut. I used 1/2 white rum and 1/2 Malibu rum. I did not have trouble with runny glaze but I allowed the glaze to cook for more than 5 min till it firmed up a bit but not till soft ball stage. I was afraid of too strong of alcohol flavor that I pour about 1/4 cup of rum into the glaze and let it cook for 10 seconds, then I took it off the stove and pour the rest of the rum into the glaze. I poke holes with a wooden chopstick to make the holes larger. I used a tablespoon to slowly pour the syrup into the holes and around the edges of the bundt pan. I let the cake rest in the bundt pan overnight and flipped it over the next morning. It was delicious!! Thank you Mariann for this yummy recipe!
