I've modded this rum cake recipe and it is a favorite when I take it to my sailing club socials

I use Capt. Morgan black rum for this and where the cake recipe calls for vegetable oil I use butter.
For the glaze I use about 1/8-1/4 cup more sugar and maybe a shot or three more rum.
I've also made it with pecans instead of walnuts.

I modify just about every recipe I use, often even if I'm making it for the first time.

Screw the prep work on the ginger; wash it and use the blender, adding vinegar to keep it liquid enough to continue blending. Use 2-3 cups of sugar and boil the water to get the sugar dissolved, then dump the vinegar/ginger sludge into the pot. Simmer for a while, then scoop out the biggest chunks, and process through one of those resuable coffee filters.
I store it in empty 20 ounce water bottles; add to cold water to taste. High energy and really refreshing for a summer ride drink. It can be addictive, though; I've been known to buy out all the ginger in HEB and use a 3 gallon stock pot to make enough for a campout.
