Cream Crisco and sugar; add eggs. Mix dry ingredients together and add alternately with buttermilk. Bake at 325 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes in a well greased tube pan. Remove from oven.
To make glaze: Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, except the rum extract. Bring to a boil and add the rum extract. While cake is still hot and in the pan, pour the glaze over the cake. Let cool before removing from the pan.
