Bacardi Famous Rum Cake

This looks just like the recipe my grandmother used to make. I remember that she put the rum in both the cake and glaze, as in this one. Although, instead of drizzling the glaze on the cake after it was removed from the pan, she poked holes with an ice pick through the cooked hot cake in the pan and poured the glaze over the cake. After it had cooled for about 20 min., she then inverted on the cake plate. Anyone else remember this?
