Double Rum Cake

A little while ago, I posted a picture on Facebook...it looked a little something like this:

I said "Guess what I'm making?" :)
I was really hungry and had ran out of Girl Scout cookies, so I made a Double Rum cake..it was really delicious. Of course, it was a Paula Deen recipe, so it was bound to be incredible!
