I just made this for Mother's Day and it is Soooo good! Just a note: I did'nt have rum (shame on me!) so I used 1 teaspoon rum extract + 1/4 cup water for the cake. For the glaze I used 2 teaspoons rum extract + 1/2 cup water. The glaze smells like hot buttered rum, yum! I used regular whipped cream from a squirt can, which was easier. This is a great cake to use when you want something a little different than the usual. Thanks for posting it so I don't have to!

I just tried this one. Thank you for posting it. It was actually fun to make, and it's amazing!! It's my friend's birthday cake. Every time we go out, he orders a mojito. So I thought this would be a fun idea. I followed the recipe exact, and it turned out perfect:)
