A wonderful flavorful cake, terrific texture and perfect glaze. Have been selling this cake for a few years already. My customers keep comming back for more. That to me says it all. Is one great tasting cake.

this just wasn't nearly as good as the more "traditional" pound cake i've made. it was too light to feel like pound cake, and too brown sugary to taste like it. also, the "glaze", once cooled, wound up like candy-caramel topping, so hard and sticky that i had to cut off the top of the cake so people could eat it. the 9 year olds in my family never turn down cake. if you try this recipe, DONT ADD THE GLAZE. as for me, i won't make it again.

Wow - this cake was great! I didn't have a completely full box of brown sugar (maybe 1 Cup was missing) but I felt the cakes were just sweet enough. I also skipped the glaze and didn't this affected the cake at all, in fact, I think the cake would have been too rich and sweet with the glaze. Try this recipe, you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!

This is excellent!! I made one bundt cake and I put the rum in after I boiled the glaze. Yummy!

This cake was not a big hit in my family. The cake tasted very bland and extremely "floury" tasting.

This is a wonderful cake. I made it for an office birthday celebration and it was gone in 20 minutes!! I don't believe I have ever seen anything disapear quite so quickly and the complements were numerous. I followed the cake recipe exactly, I made it in a large (12 cup) bundt pan and baked it for 60 minutes. I wanted a little heavier rum flavor so I used the Bacardi Rum Cake glaze. This is definately a keeper, a cake I will bake often.

This cake is delicious, with a moist tight crumb, very flavorful. I only used half the glaze (I made one large bundt cake), thought it would be too wet if I used all the glaze, and it was just right. Glaze amount is probably ok if you make 2 smaller cakes. I will definitely keep this recipe!

Wow! Every bit as good as the other reviews said it would be! The texture was perfect...moist and not too dense. We ate it warm out of the oven, but I bet it will be better the second day. I halved the recipe and baked it in a fluted bundt pan. It only took about 40 minutes to bake. The consistency of the batter was a little weird - much fluffier than regular cake batter. I was a little worried about it, but it turned out great.
