Personal Notes:
This tried and true recipe makes the moistest cake you'll ever eat. I have made this Bacardi Rum Cake many, many times. It is not only the perfect dessert, but I've had house guests who wanted it for breakfast. My husband keeps threatening to use it for French Toast. I personally think that it'll never get dry enough as it stays moist for a long time. The longer the cake sits the better it taste. This cake freezes beautifully . Also, many of these cakes have been shipped to soldiers overseas. They got there just fine the rum acts as the perfect preservative.
