Chet's Rum Cake

The last night we were in Oregon, Chet and Carolyn (our host and hostess) made dinner for us.  Carolyn made poor man's stroganoff, beet salad, and marrinated carrots. Chet made this cake.  The whole meal was amazing. It made leaving Oregon a little easier, but not much.  I will give you the beet and carrot  recipe later.
