When I was a kid my mom used to make this absolutely to-die-for rum cake. It was so moist and rich, and I had to finish off every last crumb! Unfortunately, her recipe got lost in a move so the following recipe is  different. Though not as good as Mom’s, this recipe is pretty tasty.

This cake quite moist and flavourful. It’s an extremely rich and luxurious dessert, which is perfect for holiday parties or special occasions. You can probably have only one slice before being full, but this cake doesn’t last too long around the house. Absolutely delicious!
