geraldine's Notes:

I worked in a hospital for 27 years and we loved to share our recipes. I use to make this cake every christmas for the staff. I always had to make two so some could be taken home. It looks beautiful on a footed serving plate with the glaze pooling around the cake and is usually the center of attraction on my dessert table for my family christmas parties. I hope it will become a tradition with your family and friends as well. Enjoy!

 

Directions

1
Soften butter 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.Grease and flour tube pan. Put all ingrediates in a bowl and beat at high speed for 4 mintes.Stir in nuts. Pour in pan and bake 35-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes on a wire rack. remove from pan.
2
GLAZE: Melt butter in saucepan. Stir in water and sugar. Boil 5 minutes stirring constantly. Remove from heat - add rum and stir. Add remaining nuts. prick cake all over with fork. pour glaze over cake.
3
Hint: I sometimes use Bacardi Dark Rum for Glaze and I like to brush the glaze on every 10 minutes so it has time to absorb well. I will glaze it about 3 times and if I have any glaze left I will serve it on the side for those who like more glaze.

This sounds amazing and I plan to make in two days to take to a wine making day at our neighbors! We will all be freezing outside press the grapes and bottling last years which has aged in the casks. (bad year for the grapes...they were very late so the usual Sept. pressing was delayed) so a hot buttered Rum cake sound perfect!!!

I love fresh tuna & will deffinately try this as well as the Rum cake! Both sound delicious! I also think the ingredients in the tuna would be good with chicken for chicken salad!! I'm also making the cookies for my grandson!

Hi Geraldine, This will be the dessert for Thanksgiving. I see no reason to give it a test run. I feel those few extra pounds coming on already.
But that's o.k. I'll cut back on the veggies. Thanks for the post. As for the Tuna,It's added to my to-do list Thanks again
