Decorate the top with whole strawberries or Maraschino cherries and candied fruits. It is better chilled for 1 hour or can be servered at once.
- NOTE 1 As sugested by "Pettabear":This cake can also be converted to a Gluten free cake by using a Gluten free angel food cake mix.
- NOTE: 2 When my grandmother ( when she was alive ) made this the cake was soping that when you cut into it the Rum oozzed out of it. I am sure she used a shot of Rum per layer.
- After eating one piece you had drink for the night. Most of the guest stayed over night ot recover also a slight hang over.

Hi, Ed! Thanks for the great post! Will try it soon...I'm always trying to cut sugar out of my diet, so this sounds like a great replacement. 5UP
