1

Add the liquids

Mix in the milk, followed by each of the eggs, and then the rum.

2

Pour the batter into the pan

Spread the rum cake batter over the nuts in the pan. Tap the pan gently on the countertop a few times, which will pop any air bubbles.

3

Bake

Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a pick inserted into the center comes out clean.

4

Cool

Let the cake begin cooling by setting it on a wire rack while you make the glaze.
