Grease the bundt pan with a fair amount of butter, ensuring to cover all crevices.

Dust the greased bundt pan with flour, then shake out excess flour.

In a stand mixer, combine room temperature butter and sugar, creaming them together until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition.

Incorporate sour cream, vanilla extract, and dark rum into the mixture, blending until smooth.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cardamom.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.

For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with water until smooth and drizzle over the cooled cake.

Zest lime on top of the cake before serving.
