Granny's Rum Cake Recipe (Taste of Home)
My Granny taught me how to bake this cake in her kitchen. When I moved
out of town, she wrote the recipe on a small sheet of paper and placed
in an envelope. Now that she's passed, I fondly think of her every time
I bake this cake using her hand-written recipe.
