This cake is great on taste; however the appearance is a set back...especially if you are entertaining. The end result looks quite soggy, but great taste.

AWESOME! AND SO YUMMY! I had never made a rum cake before and wanted to try before Christmas gets here. My husband said it's the best rum cake he's ever had. When it was time to add the glaze I inserted a teeny funnel in the holes and put about 1/4 cup at a time in. It took a few minutes longer but was well worth the wait. This is NOT for your kid's birthday party! Thank you for a great holiday recipe. I made this a second time this week and it was fabulous! This time I let it sit about 20 hours prior to serving. The texture was wonderful and it held it's shape well. The flavor was out of this world - sweet and spicy flavor was perfect. I used spiced rum this time. To make this work you really need to put some care and time into it. If you do, you'll be glad you did!

If you're looking to get drunk off cake, this will work! But, if you're looking for something delicious, try again. My friends and I needed a chaser to eat this. I'm not the world's best chef, but I believe these effects are because of the recipe not me. I mean, if you're adding like 10 shots of rum on top of a cake, you can imagine what I'm talking about.

I have made this cake on several occasions with rave reviews from family and friends. I have never had a soggy cake as some have described. The cake is always moist and I think the combination of the spices and rum is fantastic. However, be forewarned that this cake smells and tastes strongly of rum, and therefore those who do not particularly like the taste of rum may not like this cake.

After serving this cake at a holiday party many of my guest found it too strong and I sent 80% of it home with my brother. Well, he called the next day and begged me to please bake him another. He LOVED it and can't wait to "pour up a slice" to toast in the new year!

Very good but I think I like drinking my rum with coke better than eating it in a cake.

WOW! This is the best rum cake I've ever had. I used dark rum and coconut rum, and the smell is incredible. I could eat the whole cake myself! Great recipe. Thanks!

Most awesome, I wouldn't suggest this for children as it is soaked in pure rum...with all it's alcohol content. Ten ounces of rum in the glaze and a 1/4 cup in the mix is almost a whole pint. Be careful, and remember that this cake is supposed to serve 14. I've read that some cooks had a problem with the glaze; it's almost like making candy to make this glaze, you need to boil down the ingredients...the mixture will bubble furiously, and it needs to for several minutes before it will set as a candied glaze (not the easiest for an inexperienced cook). If you need practice on glazing, read up; preparing the glaze correctly will help so this cake won't become a soggy mess...(as some reviewers have stated) It is most awesome and deserves to be made correctly and served at every winter holiday!

I have made this cake for years. It has become a tradition at my office during the Holidays. I do make sure that I use the expensive rum so the alcohol is not as strong. I also add a little extra into the glaze. It is so easy. I just make the cake, punch holes and pour the glaze over and let it sit overnight. AWESOME!!

A cake with more pizzazz then most. I baked this and never even got a slice. The lucky ones that did -- loved it. I'm baking another and keeping it for myself! They all wated the recipe. It was easy to make - I injected the rum glaze like another reviewer suggested and drizzled it over the top too.

I made slightly less of the glaze and thought it would taste better with more. My family thought it was too strong. Best advice: If you like a strong rum taste you will like this cake. If not, don't make it.

I baked this cake for the first time this Christmas and my family loved it! Upon pouring the rum on the cake, at first the scent is really strong. But after about 6 or more hours, the rum saturated itself throughout the cake, and it wasn't that bad anymore. It was really tasty!

Wonderful in every way. Nice weight, texture and great combinations with the spices and nuts. I've added this one to one of the many cakes I make for the holidays. Did have a suggestion -- add the glaze by injection. I had about half the glaze left over. Perfect. I had a friend make this but I guess they did not follow instuctions and it did not work, but it was the best when I made it and my friend loved it too.
