My step mother makes an AMAZING rum cake.  I like it because it is more like a pound cake soaked in black rum rather than like a Christmas pudding with dried fruit and stuff in it.

But, your methodology is sound with respect to the rum when making the cake.

:aok
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain
