Substitute bourbon and it is very Southern. I will have to give this a try some time.Valerie Harrison (bellini)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10205920305666658534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-11565431346345700412015-05-03T16:27:32.295-04:002015-05-03T16:27:32.295-04:00I've made a version of this cake every winter ...I've made a version of this cake every winter for as long as I've been married, but will be glad to try your version the next time.

My copy of her recipe calls for one-half cup light rum in the glaze, and no rum in the cake batter. I remember she was disappointed that the contest rules did not allow her to use real rum in the cake, so she had to use rum extract, and the flavor wasn't as good. Mrs. Lewis was a lovely, generous, and dignified lady.

My aunt used to make a similar cake (she lived in KY) that, while I liked the texture, I didn't like the taste of the rum flavoring.<br />I'll pull out the real thing and try your recipe.
