This is a recipe I found in an old family cookbook. Just have fun with it. Measure and store the dry ingredients (flour, salt, baking powder) ahead of time in a resealable plastic bag to shorten prep time.

Sliced Rum Glazed Pound Cake on a plate.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This rum glazed pound cake is anything but basic. The cake is buttery, rich, and tender. Adding cream cheese helps keep it moist. The glaze on the top is boozy, buttery, and rich. It's on the thinner side, but the flavors from the caramel frosting and rum soak beautifully into the cake.
