4 cups cake flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 lb. butter
2 2/3 cups sugar
10 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tablespoon dark rum
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease and flour lightly a 10 inch tube or Bundt pan.
Mix together flour and baking powder in a small bowl or on a sheet of silicone or wax paper.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
Beat in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla and rum, mixing well.
Gradually add the flour and baking powder mixture, then continue beating on medium speed for 10 minutes.
Transfer batter to pan; level off with spatula and bake for 55 minutes at 350°F or until cake tests done.
Remove cake from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes, then run a butter knife along edges of pan, if necessary, to free the cake from the sides. Turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
