2 tablespoons rum (your call on flavors and dark/light, etc)

Mix all the ingredients together until smooth.

Pour into a well battered tube pan (I've used both bundt and spring-form).

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes (or longer) until the cake is brown on the top and firm to the touch.
4
Sauce:.
5
Mix all sauce ingredients over a burner bringing them to a rolling boil.

For the best flavor/results, let cake stand overnight.

This allows the sauce to really soak in and crystalize around the edges.
