Caribbean Buttered Rum Cake

In the Cayman Islands I tried some delicious rum cake, which was sold in boxes piled high in almost every store. This recipe is the closest thing to that buttery Tortuga Rum Cake. It’s the plain variety, rather than chocolate or raisin, so you can fully appreciate the rum (and butter) flavour!
