I would have givin this a 3, but my husband loved it. I didn't like the texture, because it reminded me of bread pudding, which I don't care for. I was moist and had a wonderful butterscotch flavor. We could not even taste the rum. The best part was the butterscotch topping.

Very moist and tasty - didn't have dark rum so I used spiced instead. Next time I will add a little less and I'll also buy an extra bag of butterscotch chips to put in the batter and make extra glaze.

OMG, this was GREAT and I am not a lover of butterscotch at all. My cake fell apart on the sides and I let it cool for 3 hours. I did not use rum. Dispite the negatives, this cake is awsome. I'm in love and I don't love easily. I only try cakes with 5 stars and sometimes they don't even deserve 3 stars, but this cake is to die for, although it is very fattening and pretty heavy:)

I made this cake for my parents. They absolutely loved it! My mom said it reminded her of a dessert her own mother used to get from a local bakery and it brought back memories. I actually used light rum instead of dark run and even added pecans to the walnuts because I ran out of walnuts. It was delicious!!

This cake is delicious. You can't even tell the finished product is from a box cake mix! Definitely something to brag about.

I baked this cake for something different at the Thanksgiving table. It turned out to be an excellent addition to everything else. Everyone was pleasantly surprised by the taste and my mother even asked which bakery I got it from. I would recommend this cake as dessert for almost any occasion and it goes very well with a cup of coffee.

I am not a baker! But wanted a great cake for a special birthday. This was it. Simple recipe to follow with outstanding results! I didn't change a thing, except I did not make the glaze. Very moist. The nuts add to the lovely texture. Beautiful color and aroma. Everyone loved it - even the kids who are PICKY eaters. If you are fortunate enough to have leftovers, it is even better the next day (or day after!). Terrific recipe, I plan on making a bunch of them and giving them as Christmas gifts.

I hesitated to make this cake; I'm not a big butterscotch fan. (However, I am a big rum fan!) Am I ever glad I made this cake--EVERYONE went nuts over it. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe!!! :)
