Gluten-Free Rum Cake

I don’t love rum, so why make a rum cake? Ever had one? They are moist and decadent and I couldn’t wait to try a healthy version.
 

Just like with the Chocolate Fudge Pie, this was an experiment for my mama’s birthday and I can say that everyone around the table LOVED it, including the kids!

If you’re concerned about the alcohol, it loses its effect during the cooking process and you’re just left with deliciousness! Try it and let me know what you think!
