        You can substitute butter for oil. I would definitely opt for the oil though, it makes moister delicious loaf.
        I would not change a thing about this recipe.

      Yes, best rum cake ever. Thank you! I soaked my raisins for 48 hours because I got busy. I did not bake mine the 45 minutes. Mine was golden on top, moist, fragrant...I can't stop eating it.

      It’s so delicious. Although it didn’t rise that high it was so tasty and rich that it didn’t need to be that risen. We liked it so much that it will be on our Christmas menu some years as an alternative to our usual Dundee cake.

      Looking forward to trying your boiled cake reci.
