Personal Notes:
I was given this recipe from Theresa Patterson, my dear friend and the executive director of Visitation Hospital Foundation. To date, she has made 80 trips to Haiti. Because of her, I have made a huge leap of faith to build a Clinic in southwest Haiti. I am so proud to say we accomplished our mission and now 254,000 Haitian people will benefit from it. This was truly the work of God.

Theresa turned me on to Haitian Rum and we purchase it for about one-fourth the cost at the airport in Port-au-Prince. I try to use Haitian Rum whenever I make this cake, but any Rum would do. This recipe is not low in calories, but it is really good. It goes so well with Butter Pecan Ice Cream, and I always use Bryers. My company has loved it.
