  1. This recipe wasn't a huge hit, but maybe it's because it was different than the types of cakes I normally make and it just didn't suit our tastes. I have never made a rum cake, but there was definitely a strong rum taste in the glaze! Maybe it would have been better to make just a milk/sugar/vanilla glaze? The cake itself was ok, but again we didn't care much for the rum taste in it. I'm sure it would have been better with the suggestions made by the other reviewer to add banana (or some type of fruit) and cream. It was worth a shot trying, but now I know we don't enjoy rum cakes! Sorry I could not have rated this one higher!
     
  2. I found this recipe in the Cooking Light magazine as well, and am glad to see it added here! I made this and it was great. Add sliced banana and whipped cream or yogurt for a delicious dessert!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
