This recipe was a HIT on Mother's Day! I did not change one thing and I DID use the icing. There was not one slice left at the end of the evening. I will definitely make this again!

Made for a company picnic with Duncan Hines Banana Supreme cake mix instead of plain yellow. Was DELICIOUS! Got rave reviews and requests to bring again. Will be making it this weekend for my BFs birthday.

This cake is always a smash hit! You can definitely taste the rum. I prefer to use a spice cake mix instead of yellow cake, but you can't go wrong either way.

The rum taste and smell was just too strong. The only good thing I can say was it was moist.

Perfect.....I used 99 bananas rum instead of dark rum. It was very moist and tasty.

Tasted fine, but nothing special. Probably won't make it again. I would recommend increasing the rum.

This is crazy good! I made it exactly as written as a layer cake. I had the perfect amount of frosting for the middle and top of the cake and that's just the right amount to compliment this cake. The rum taste mellows overnight but if you don't like a lot of rum just omit it in the frosting. This is SO GOOD I wouldn't change a thing! I'll be making this all the time!

I made this following the recipe, but I did use 1 cup of golden rum and ½ cup of water. The cake was so moist. It certainly has a prominent rum taste. I did not use the frosting, I did make the frosting which tasted great but in the end decided not to serve it, and just served sprinkled with powdered sugar instead. I was after more of a glaze than a frosting.

I made this cake for my fiance on his birthday, and it was a huge hit. He likes anything that has a spice to it, and banana. This was just the perfect cake. I actually substituted the dark rum for a spiced rum, and it worked out really well. I'll definitely make this cake again.
