Steps

  1. Cream the butter and sugar for 2–3 minutes by hand or using a mixer at low speed.
  2. Add almond flour, and mix to combine.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a fork. Incorporate them into the butter and sugar mixture.
  4. Add the flour and 2 tablespoons of rum.
  5. Pour the batter into a buttered cake pan.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes at gas mark 5 (150 °C).

  8. When the cake is cold, make the icing by combining the icing sugar and rum. Add a few drops of water if necessary, stirring well between each addition of water, to make a thick but flowing glaze.
  9. Pour the icing on the cake, and spread it well.
