Orange Rum Cake

1 cup butter, softened

1 and 1/2 cups sugar

2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1 Tbsp. orange zest, grated

1/3 cup orange juice

1/4 cup rum

Cream together butter and sugar. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Grease and flour a tube pan. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 degrees for 45 - 50 minutes. If you don't want to use rum you may increase orange juice to 1/2 cup and use 1 tsp. of rum extract.

The Skinny: Use your favorite sugar and egg substitutes.
