Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture has thickened. Remove the pan from the heat. Now mix in the lemon peel.

Place on the middle rack of the oven and bake for about 50minutes to 1 hour. Or till a toothpick inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool for 15 minutes before unmolding onto rack. When the cake has completely cooled, slice it into 6 layers.

Place the first layer on a cake platter and sprinkle some rum over it. Cover the layer with some of the custard mixture. Place the second layer on top of the custard mixture, sprinkle with rum and cover with more custard mixture.
