Directions:Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Sift all the dry ingredients, flour, baking powder and salt, into a large bowl (or on wax paper if you don't want another bowl to clean up). Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugar until it is light and fluffy, then beat in eggs, one at a time. Add in the remaining wet ingredients, milk and vanilla. Incorporate the flour mixture in three batches to allow the ingredient to blend properly.
Mix all the milks together in a sauce pan and heat. Do not boil, you just want to heat it through. Set aside. Rum use comes later.
just place batter into a floured and greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until it is golden. Allow to cool enough that you can handle the cake. Take out of the pan and using a serrated knife trim off all 4 edges (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch), this allows maximum absorption.
Place cake back into the pan and using a fork, poke holes all over the top of cake. Slowly pour the milk (and rum, if using) over the cake. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight or 8 hours.
Prepare meringue and spread evenly over top of cake.
