RUM POUND CAKE
This recipe is from Paula Deen's magazine called Holiday Baking. This cake looked so good I couldn't wait until the holidays to make it. It was amazing! If you want to try a really nice rum for this cake, if it's available in your area (also good in eggnog) try Captain Morgan's Private Stock. It is a rum with added spices, very nice. I made the glaze with this also. I halved that recipe and it was plenty. The serving size of this depends on how big a slice you cut :) Salt is not listed as an ingredient because I use salted butter but if you use unsalted butter or just want this cake saltier add 1/2 tsp salt.

Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and produce a smooth, consistent cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter and help the cake to rise.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Sift the flour before adding it to the batter. This will help to ensure that the cake is light and airy.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
