Bermuda Bacardi Rum Cake

You may spoil the Gospel by substitution. You have only to withdraw from the eyes of the sinner the grand object which the Bible proposes to faith, - Jesus Christ; and to substitute another object in His place… and the mischief is done. Substitute anything for Christ, and the Gospel is totally spoiled!... You may spoil the Gospel by addition. You have only to add to Christ, the grand object of faith, some other objects as equally worthy of honor, and the mischief is done. Add anything to Christ, and the Gospel ceases to be a pure Gospel!... You may spoil the Gospel by interposition. You have only to push something between Christ and the eye of the soul, to draw away the sinner’s attention from the Savior, and the mischief is done… You may spoil the Gospel by disproportion. You have only to attach an exaggerated importance to the secondary things of Christianity, and a diminished importance to the first things, and the mischief is done. Once alter the proportion of the parts of truth, and truth soon becomes downright error!... You may completely spoil the Gospel by confused and contradictory directions. Complicated and obscure statements about faith, baptism, Church privileges, and the benefits of the Lord’s Supper…are almost as bad as no statement at all.

INSTRUCTIONS

Source:  Goslings', Bacardi Int'l Recipe Card  Cake: Preheat oven to
325F.  Grease and flour 10" tube or 12 cup  bundt pan. Sprinkle nuts
over bottom of pan using a spoon to gently  push them up the sides of
the pan a little.  Mix all cake  ingredients.  Pour batter over nuts.
Bake 1 hour (check at  45-50mins). Cool. Invert on serving place. Prick
the top with a  skewer or fork. Spoon & brush glaze evenly over top &
sides.  Glaze: Melt butter.  Stir in water and sugar.  Boil 5 minutes
while  stirring constantly. Remove from heat & stir in rum.  Glaze
application: You want the glaze to be soaked as far into the  cake as
possible.  You have to be patient.  I have two methods I find  work.
First i push a fork in about 1 1/2 inches and gently pry open  the hole
- then i dribble glaze down the fork and let the cake soak  it up as i
go. The second method is much more successful - i use the  fork the
same way but i use a childs medicine dropper (the kind with  the bulb
on the end) and inject the glaze right into the cake.  Notes:  Kahluha
can be substituted for rum.  If using yellow cake mix  with pudding
already in it; omit instant pudding, use 3 eggs instead  of 4, 1/3 c of
oil instead of 1/2. This cake is best left to sit for  a day before
consumption.  Posted to FOODWINE Digest 22 October 96  Date:    Wed, 23
