Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

To prepare cake, coat an 8X4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Dust with 2 tablespoons flour.

Lightly spoon 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk until blended.

Place sugar and butter in a large bowl. Beat until well-blended (about 5 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture and 1/2 cup rum alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Spoon batter into prepared pan.

Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes on a wire rack. Run a knife around edges of pan; remove cake from pan. Cool completely on a wire rack.

To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons rum, stirring until smooth. Drizzle glaze over the cake.
