This turned out just perfect for me. I made just as written except that I increased the pecans to 1 cup. I poked holes in the cake while it was still in the pan and drizzled a good bit of glaze in. Then turned the cake out and glazed it from the top. Very moist and tender with just the right amount of bite from the rum. This will become a holiday tradition for us. Thanks for sharing!
