  1. Excellent cake - a family favorite. When young and foolish, I once made this using Austrian Stroh's rum (practically 100% alcohol) which tastes like butterscotch lifesavers. I had a friend (chopper pilot) fly it out to my former husband who was in the field near the east German border. The pilot swore that he could have saved fuel and just used the fumes from the cake!!! Even the brigade commander called to tell me how wonderful the cake was - especially the topping. Now that was rummy!
