  • Grease and lightly flour 3 9-inch round baking pans; set aside. Bring butter and 3/4 cup water to boiling, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add baking bar; stir until melted. Stir in buttermilk, eggs, and rum extract; set aside. Combine 1/2 cup of the flour and the chopped pecans; set aside.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am 36 years old and the mother of four wonderful children. Two girls and two boys. ?Being a stay-at-home mom affords me ample time to indulge my passion for cooking and baking! (Thanks again to my wonderful husband!) My oldest daughter loves to help in the kitchen and wants to eat what she cooks, so that's helping broaden her eating horizons! My youngest daughter is still pretty picky, but we're dealing! Thank goodness my husband is gracious enough to eat whatever I cook. (I guess he knows that if he complains, he'll be asked to do the cooking himself!!)
