This cake rates 10 stars...I made it for Thanksgiving and it received more than rave reviews. There is no quantity listed for eggs, with all the rest of the ingredients, I added 6 eggs. also served it plain, didn't make the orange rum sauce, but next time I want to try it.....sounds delicious. Thanks chippie for a real keeper.
