RUM CAKE WITH BUTTER RUM GLAZE

An easy homemade recipe for moist and delicious Rum Cake with topped with Butter Rum Glaze perfect for any occasion!

Today I’m sharing a recipe from Holiday Thyme!  It was a hard decision to pick just one since I love all the recipes I created for the book but I decided to share with you my Rum Cake with Butter Rum Glaze.  Unlike most rum cake recipes, this one does not come from a box cake mix (not that there is anything wrong with that) and oh my goodness is it amazing.

Rum is another flavor that reminds me of the holidays so what perfect way to celebrate the season than with a rum cake.  This smells so good when it is baking.  After it has cooled slightly, top it off with a butter rum glaze for a great dessert to serve at your holiday gatherings.  I always like to reserve a little of the glaze to also drizzle on the slices right before serving as well.
