Yeah, I had planned to bring a rum cake to a party back in October, but I
had loaned my bundt pan to a friend and hadn't gotten it back, which is a
small detail I had forgotten when I planned to bake this cake. The host had
heard about my rum cakes, so once I told him what I was making, there was no
changing!!! The only pan I had was my angel food tube pan, so I had to make
do.

I covered the bottom in foil to prevent leakage, but then I had to remember
that the bottom would actually BE the bottom, unlike a bundt pan. The cake
was wider but flatter and seemed denser than had I baked it in my bundt pan.
It wasn't as pretty, either, because there wasn't the design from the pan
molded in.
