Step 1
1. Grease and flour a loaf pan. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. In a large bowl, beat the butter with a mixer at high speed for several seconds. While the mixer is running, slowly add the white and brown sugar. Continue beating at high speed until the mixture becomes creamy and almost white, about 5 minutes. Combine eggs, vanilla, and dark rum in a medium bowl. Slowly add the butter mixture to the egg mixture and beat at medium speed. Add salt and beat. Sift one cup of flour into the bowl and stir with a spatula. Repeat this process two more times with the remaining flour.
