Recipe(tried): Finally a good RUM cake recipe from SCRATCH no box...

I have been searching for a good rum cake recipe for days. I tried the one with the yellow cake mix and pudding mix but it was not the same as I have tasted in the past. I like to bake from scratch anyways but couldn't find one until now. Thanks for the recipe which I have copied below. I did make one change to it instead of one cup buttermilk I used 1/2 cup of dark spice rum and 1/2 cup of water. Oh and I added the pecans. It came out really really good and my husband really liked.
