Notes: I used my cast iron 10 inch tube pan. It is small so the overflow went into a cast iron loaf pan. We filled them to the same depth. The bake time was much less and the crust was nice.
I used rum icing on this, I mixed Myer rum and confectioners sugar and drizzled it over the cakes.
I made this for James Almond in 2020 at his request. He approved.
