Don’t toss out that leftover rum, it can be the tastiest addition to a simple cake recipe.

This cake is full of flavor and it’s free of gluten! However, don’t let that scare all of you gluten-lovers away – it’s sure to knock the tastebuds off of any cake-lover out there. This recipe was made gluten-free by switching out all purpose flour for gluten-free flour. My suggestion is to use Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 Baking flour.
