Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease well a 12-cup (10-inch) bundt pan and set aside.
- To make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together butter, oil, and sugar for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Occasionally scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add heavy cream (or milk), rum, and vanilla, and beat until combined. On low speed, beat in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top is browning too fast while baking, cover pan loosely with aluminum foil.
- While the cake is in the oven, make the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine butter, water, and sugar. Cook on medium-low heat until sugar dissolves and syrup forms. Turn off heat and mix in rum. Set aside until the cake is ready.
- When the cake is out of the oven pour about half of the syrup gently and slowly over the cake. Allow cake to cool for 10-15 minutes, then, run a knife gently around the edges of the cake, and remove cake from pan, carefully inverting it onto a plate. After inverting the cake, brush top and sides of the cake evenly with the rest of the syrup. Allow cake to cool to room temperature.
- The cake is best served at room temperature. Store cake in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Leftovers can be frozen for up to 2 months.

BUTTERSCOTCH-RUM RIPPLE CAKE
Little cookbook called "A Taste of Texas With FFA/HERO". Sorry for the confusion on the instructions in earlier posting. During my midnight posting I did not read the recipe that well. It apparently had a step left out of the cookbook, not my error this time, LOL! LonghornMama was kind enough to let me know how a similar recipe reads. She also has a topping to hers that hopefully she will post. This sounds good as several of you have said in emails to me. I plan to try it sometime in future. Glad I will not have to figure out how it is supposed to read.

Tips and Conclusion
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
- Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature: If you bake the cake at too high of a temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If you bake it at too low of a temperature, it will take too long to bake and the cake will be dry.
- Test the cake for doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
