I like to use dark rum in the cake & glaze though.
Also, the glaze recipe I use is a smidge different. 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup water, 1 cup sugar & 1/2 cup dark rum. Melt butter over medium heat, add water & sugar, stir constantly until mixture begins to bubble. After boiling begins, stir constantly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat & stir in 1/2 cup rum.

Once the cake is cooled, prick all the sides with a toothpick and then “baste” with the glaze. Use a basting brush and keep brushing every so often that the glaze gets absorbed into the cake. YUM!
