    I'm sure the alcohol gets cooked out of it.

    Lurking.... I think with rum cake the alcohol is drizzled over the cake at the end, so I would double check with whoever made it to see when the rum was added.

    This. I hate rum cake but a friend of mine makes it soooo good ... of course her secret is that she pours about half a bottle of Appleton over the cake while it's still warm. I don't think the residual heat from the cake at that point is enough to cook the alcohol out. So check with whoever made it for ingredients and method, and decide from there.

    I dont see a problem with it. The sugar is more dangerous than the alcohol content.

    Hmm, I've made rum cake a few times, a copycat Tortuga cake recipe. While the rum in the cake batter would most likely get cooked out while baking, the last step is mixing more rum with a sugar syrup and drizzling it over the cake to then be absorbed to give it that super moist texture. I don't think that rum gets cooked out. I forget how much went in it, I think it was something like 1/4-1/2 cup. Which I guess wouldn't be much spread over the whole cake, but I don't know for sure. Maybe ask your doctor? 

    I now want some cake! Doesn't matter what kind, just some cake.

    Yes. I am a big baker, and when you bake alcohol in a cake or cupcakes, the alcohol actually gets burned (baked ) out of it while in the oven. You are fine! As long as there is no alcohol in the icing! :-)

    You actually have to bake or simmer alcohol for a long time before it actually burns off completely.  The assumption that it vanishes quickly is not correct - we cook with wine a lot and did quite a bit of research on this when we were going through infertililty treatments. 

    Here is a website with a handy chart - https://www.ochef.com/165.htm.  You will see this chart replicated on other cooking websites if you go a quick google search.
