I made this cake for my rum loving husband. I didn't expect to like it but found it OUTSTANDING! It was so easy to make and turned out very soft and sweet. I used a good quality rum which really added a nice flavor to the cake. I also liked the texture of the poppy seeds. I would say the whipped cream is a must it is so WONDERFUL with the cake flavors. I let it sit 2 hours before serving. My husband poured even more rum on his slice.

I am a very lucky lady. I recently moved to a very small town in New Brunswick, Canada with my wonderful husband who is my best friend.
Very fortunate to have a cherished son, wonderful daughter in law and adorable granddaughter and cute wee grandson. We are very blessed.
A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
