Boston Globe Cheap Eats review: ."Surprise! It was dark, rich, and moist. No green and red things. No big chunks of dried fruit, just a hint of lemon and lime peel. The cake has a wonderful flavor of Jamaican rum, which Cynthia uses liberally - before, during, and after baking. The sweet white topping with a layer of almond paste was, well, icing on the cake. "
