I didn't rate this recipe because I baked it at 350 instead of 325. This might have been why my cake sank in the middle halfway through baking. (I didn't open oven, just looked through the door.) Even so, there might be an error with the amount of rum extract. I only used one tbsp and the flavor was very strong. Maybe it should have been 2 tsp. ??
