This is definately an heirloom recipe. The cake was very dry even with the glaze, and the rum added an old- fashioned flavor. It was interesting to try.

I have to give this 5 stars! I did make a few slight changes. I had an overabundance of lemons and no rum in the house, so I substituted fresh squeezed lemon juice for the rum and threw in about a tablespoon of lemon zest with the dry ingredients. The cake was very moist, and the lemon flavor was wonderful.

I must have done something wrong, since others had good results. Cake was about an inch high and very heavy.

I put in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, two teaspoons of rum extract and a dash of the lemon juice for flavoring. I made extra lemon glaze to make it extra lemony and dusted it with powdered sugar.

I'm not sure yet - I just made it. But, I'm suspicious because there was no leavening agent. What's going make this not a rock?

This has got to be one of the cake recipes I've ever made (and I've made a lot of cakes)! The only change I made to the recipe was using a dash of lemon extract instead of rum. A delicious cake and I will be making it again very soon by popular demand. Thank you for this yummy recipe! :-)

delicious! i made extra glaze and made the glaze extra lemony and poked tons of holes in the cake with the bamboo skewers and poured geneoursly. I added axtra sugar to the rest of the glaze to maek the glaze thicker and more "glaze-y" so that it would crust nicely and poured/spread that one on for icing. YUM!

I made this cake for dinner guests... and was sadly disappointed!! It looked absolutely beautiful, it rose very high and had a beautiful golden crust, but it was incredibly dry. Perhaps decreasing the baking time would help. I probably won't try this again though, we just didn't care for it.
