Rum Cake

This is a wonderful recipe from an old friend, Kay Fountain; all of my children should remember her. They lived near us in Tennessee and they really loved to see you. Tommy, you and Mr. Fountain were great friends and usually bickered with one another Kay passed away several years ago, but her humor is always with me. This is super easy.
