combine the dry ingredients and whisk together in a large bowl

combine the wet ingredients and whisk, then mix with the dry. You can just mix it with a whisk. Because it calls for melted butter and oil, there is no creaming. No stand mixer. Her unique method for coating the pan is awesome.

eggs are separated and the whites whipped into a merengue which you fold into the batter. I use my hand mixer to whip the egg whites.

I have made it using rum or bourbon.

PS I made another rum cake last night. I still have a coconut cake, an Italian Cream Cake and yet another chocolate pound cake before Christmas. I have used up an entire package of Costco butter, 10 pounds of sugar, untold numbers of eggs and at least 10 pounds of flour.
