Mom's Rum Cake image

Mom made this cake for years, especially for bake sales. She dressed it up so nice with her rum glaze and maraschino cherries. She says don't be shy with the rum glaze, generously pricking with cooking fork and saturating with turkey baster! What can I tell you? Mom's Rum Cake was the first to go at bake sales. Wonder if the secret to her 88 years is rum. See Mom's Mincemeat Pie recipe. No matter what, mom always baked like she wrapped gifts--with tender, loving care.

I'm not a fan of raisins, so I omitted them from the recipe. The cake still turned out great.

I didn't have any rum on hand, so I used bourbon instead. The cake still tasted great.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts for pecans. The cake still turned out great.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter, fluffier cake.

This cake is way too sweet for my taste. I ended up cutting the sugar in half and it was still too sweet.
