2. Melt the butter and sugar in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat. Combine with the rum and raisin mixture and add to the flour with the egg. Stir with a wooden spoon until combine. Do Not Overbeat!!! Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
3. Bake for 40 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
