I think this is my all-time favorite dessert, jim (well, after ice cream).

My stepmother makes it for me every Christmas. Keeps for MONTHS in the fridge without ever getting hard or stale. LOL!

My favorite question to ask everytime RUM is mentioned.... I love my coconut rum, can I use it in place of regular? In this case I'm thinking I'd only use it in the cake and not the frosting.

Thanks Jim!! Sounds YUmmmmmY!!!

How about one twinky and a bottle of Havana Gold? Does that count as rum cake?

Get a pineapple and slice it up and pour the coconut rum over it!! Let it sit for about a half hour and then eat. OH MY GOD! HEAVEN in a dish!!!
